MINING
TENEMENTS — HIGH COURT DECISION
430. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
I have a supplementary question. Can
the minister guarantee that the amended legislation, or new legislation, that
the minister has approved for drafting will be introduced and passed before
November, when this house rises?

AnswerView source ↗

I guarantee that we will work
closely with the industry, which is why we made the announcement prior to going
through cabinet. Given that a lot of the legislation comes from that piece of
legislation that the former minister put through in 2018, I expect some of the
amendments should be relatively minor. My hope is that we can get that done,
but I will not guarantee it.
