GOLD CORPORATION — GOLD BAR CONTENT
105. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Treasurer:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that the gold did not meet the specifications of the customer, does the
Treasurer think it was acceptable that he was not informed of the gold doping
earlier?

AnswerView source ↗

I think it was largely regarded as
an operational matter that was dealt with immediately. As the Leader of the Opposition knows, the government of Western Australia
deals with thousands of issues across government on a daily basis in
relation to agencies—the 40 or 50 government trading enterprises and 25
government departments—the $36 billion spend and multiple pieces of
legislation. I think it was largely regarded as an operational issue that was
fixed as soon as it was brought to our attention.
