Further to my question without notice of yesterday - (1) Does Mr John Bartle from the Department of Conservation and Land Management have an interest of any kind in the Oil Mallee Company of Australia Ltd and/or Oil Mallee Association of Western Australia Ltd; and, if so, what is the nature of this interest? (2) Would this constitute a conflict of interest in relation to the allocation of oil mallee seeds? (3) Is it correct that Mr Bartle has not divested himself of his Oil Mallee Company shares but has instead placed them in the hands of a nominee - Oil Mallee Association - and is Mr Bartle still the beneficiary of the shares? Hon KIM CHANCE
