QuestionView source ↗
I refer to a rejection letter, dated 4 April 2016, from the Acting Executive Director, Marnie Leybourne, Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) titled "Rejection notification for Program of Work Application on E25/512 and E27/532, registration ID 55611", addressed to Mr Cranston Edwards and an email, apparently dated on or about 21 March 2016, from Marnie Leybourne, Director, Operations Environment, addressed to Mr Cranston Edwards, and I ask:
(a) can the Minister state on what specific date the Program of Work (POW) application was received by the DMP;
(b) if no to (a), why not;
(c) can the Minister state on what specific date the excess tonnage application was received by the DMP;
(d) if no to (c), why not;
(e) is it correct the above referred to email, dated 21 March 2016, from Marnie Leybourne in part states "Cranston, we are chasing this up, The excess tonnage requests were sent by us (I mean the Environment Division) on 30 July last year, so I am not sure where, or why, they have been held up. We will let you know";
(f) if no to (e), will the Minister state what is specifically correct;
(g) if yes to (e), can the Minister explain why it was held up for such a long period of time;
(h) can the Minister list how many individual separate officers/contractors within the DMP, the respective job level and financial remuneration had to specifically review this matter before the excess tonnage application was referred to the Minister's office;
(i) if no to (g), why not;
(j) can the Minister provide a detailed timeline, from the date of receival with specific dates, including which specific officers by position title who reviewed this excess tonnage application, on what dates before it passed to each successive DMP officer, and again before it finally went before the Minister's office or officer delegated ministerial authority for determination;
(k) if no to (j), why not;
(l) did the DMP recommend or suggest approval of the excess tonnage application to the Minister's office;
(m) if yes to (l), what specific options did it outline;
(n) if no to (l), what specific options did it outline;
(o) can the Minister explain why it apparently took from 25 June 2015, well over 10 months, till 4 April 2016, to process a POW application and excess tonnage application, which ultimately was rejected, given that this process has historically only taken a maximum of several months and in some cases much shorter timeframes than one month to get an outcome;
(p) if no to (o), why not;
(q) can the Minister state how long a timeframe in days did the excess tonnage application remain in the Minister's office, from the date received until the date it was determined and returned back to the DMP;
(r) if no to (q), why not;
(s) can the Minister state which specific officers by title within the DMP, if any, have delegated ministerial authority to determine excess tonnage applications for POW applications; and
(t) if no to (s), why not?
