AnswerView source ↗
I was wondering about the comment of “considerable notice”. The notice I have is Wednesday, 20 October. That is a day. However, I have those documents, and as a member of an open and accountable Government I will always make such documents available. Hon Peter Foss: Twenty from 22 is two. Hon KIM CHANCE: Yes, but it takes one day to get here. The PRESIDENT: Order! Let us not get picky. Hon KIM CHANCE: I am pleased to table the documents requested by the honourable member. Only the documents for the six-month period to 30 June 2004 are relevant to the current contract, which was let as a result of a request for proposals No 2649. Under the contract, milestone commitments are low in the first year in recognition of the time required to obtain and install necessary value-adding equipment and infrastructure. An analysis of the summaries has indicated that Whiteland Milling has exceeded its milestone commitments for the first six-month period of the contract for both fine furniture and outdoor furniture. I table those documents. [See paper No 2765.]
