DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT REGULATION — ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT AND COMPLIANCE AUDITS
799. Mr C.J. TALLENTIRE to the Minister
for Environment:
I have a supplementary question. In
this budget, the Minister for Environment has booked $4 million revenue for
this financial year; however, he has not done anything about the legislative
changes required to get it. What will the minister do? Is the Treasurer calling
the shots in the environment portfolio or is it the minister?

We are in November, and this
government is undertaking a very heavy legislative workload. We all have
targets within agencies to meet cost recoveries where we can.
Several members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for West Swan, I call you to order for the first time.
Member for Victoria Park, you are on two calls.
Mr
A.P. JACOB : I want to take the opportunity with this supplementary question
to say that, certainly, in the environment portfolio, as in every area of
government, we need to look for areas in which we can contribute to the state
of the budget as it currently stands. On that particular issue, we are only a
few months into the financial year and work will be ongoing.
