GRIFFIN COAL — KPMG
935. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for State and Industry Development, Jobs and Trade:
I thank the minister. The minister might have this one, but
it might be in the same category. It was asked on the same date.
I refer to the Deputy Premier's statement to the
lower house on 8 August 2023 on behalf of the Premier pertaining to the
extraordinary bailout of the insolvent Griffin Coal.
(1) On what date was KPMG appointed by the state government?
(2) What are
the terms and time frame of the contractual engagement, and what is the scope
and delegated authority it wields in its negotiations with Griffin?
(3) What is
the financial value of its contractual engagement with the state, and what key
performance indicators are associated with the contract?
(4) Will the minister
table the contract between KPMG and the state government in the house; and, if
not, why not?
