QuestionView source ↗

I refer to ongoing concerns relating to the process of destocking the Windimurra and Anketell pastoral leases, currently held by Dale Zadow, and ask -
(1) Who is responsible for keeping records of destocking orders and default notices served on particular pastoral leaseholders?
(2) For how long are such records retained?
(3) Are such records taken into consideration if the subject of such notices and orders attempts to purchase another pastoral lease in the future?
(4) What is the process for assessing whether or not a particular person is fit and proper to hold a pastoral lease title?
(5) Who administers such a process?
(6) Will the present process confronting Mr Zadow regarding Windimurra and Anketell Stations impact in any way on possible future attempts to lease pastoral land?
