GERALDTON PORT - DEMURRAGE COST
Given that the demurrage cost to industry is rapidly mounting because of the delay at the Geraldton port, I ask - (1) When will the iron ore ship loader at berth 5 be operational? (2) Will it have the capacity to handle the current and future expansion of the iron ore throughput, and to what level? (3) Will the government guarantee that there will not be cost escalation on the installation of the ship loader? Hon ADELE FARINA

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. Unfortunately, I do not have an answer. I understand that the minister is interstate and an answer will be forthcoming. Hon Murray Criddle : I asked this question last week. We have the same problem again.
