MINING COMPANIES LEVY — PILBARA SPORTING
FUND
650. Ms
M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Sport and Recreation:
Given that the Premier has just dismissed the minister and
the member for Pilbara's proposal to impose a 2c to 4c per tonne levy
on mining companies in the Pilbara for a sporting fund, can the minister please
advise —
(1) Has the
Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries commenced work on
this proposal?
(2) If yes,
will the minister now instruct them to cease this work and admit that this was
a waste of taxpayers' dollars?

Thanks very much for the question.
(1)–(2) It
was great to go up to the Pilbara and look at the Taj Mahals that were built in
the area. They were on about that when I was talking to people from the shire.
They suggested that into the future they wanted more structure in how things
were built and how they went forward. In response to the main part of the
member's question about work being commenced on this matter, I have no
knowledge of that and nothing has been done out of my office.
