I am advised that: 1) On 30 March 2000 LandCorp spoke to Mrs Angela Milne for the first time by telephone. Government had recently approved the expansion and first round budget allocation for acquisitions at Kemerton and a letter was sent by the then Department of Resources Development (DRD) to all affected landowners. This letter offered landowners the opportunity of meeting with LandCorp and DRD officers if they wished to discuss their situation and this was what prompted Mrs Milne to contact Land Corp. (2) LandCorp's file records indicate that the Milnes' have been contacted approximately twenty times since 2000. (3) The Government has ascertained that due to financial and health reasons an urgent response to Mr and Mrs Milne is necessary. Negotiations to purchase the Milnes' land, improvements and business (with no lease back) commenced in November 2005 following Cabinet Approval of the hardship case. (4) In July 2004 DoIR advised the then Minister for State Development that a proposed hardship case was being prepared in respect of the Milne's. There followed a process of obtaining present and future valuations for the land, improvements and business, articulating and evaluating alternative purchase scenarios suggested by the Milnes', and exploring with the Department of Treasury and Finance that department's definition of hardship in relation to the various scenarios being considered. (5) Once the Milnes' wishes were confirmed in August 2005 (that they wanted the Government to purchase their land, improvements and business) it took DoIR approximately four weeks to complete the Cabinet Submission and forward it to the Minister. (6) The relatively short length of time taken to address this matter (given its complexity and the varying scenarios put forward by the Milnes') is due to the fact that the Minister considered it to be important. Prior to this was a process of obtaining present and future valuations for the land, improvements and business, articulating and evaluating alternative purchase scenarios suggested by the Milnes', and exploring with the Department of Treasury and Finance that department's definition of hardship in relation to the various scenarios being considered. (7) The matter has been dealt with expeditiously in the circumstances. (8) None. LandCorp will make an offer of purchase, not sale. It commenced negotiations with the Milnes' agent in the week beginning 6 November 2005. (9) The offer will be made and negotiations (if necessary) conducted by LandCorp, an agency for which I am not responsible.
