BALMORAL SOUTH PROJECT — REMOVAL OF BOND
Some notice has been given of the question. I refer to comments made by the Premier in relation to the removal of a $45 million bond on Mr Clive Palmer’s Balmoral South project whereby he said — I believe I also discussed it with the Minister for Environment. (1) Can the Premier confirm that he did discuss the matter with the Minister for Environment; and, if so, when and what was the nature of the discussions? (2) Who else was present for the discussions? (3) Were any notes taken at the discussions; and, if so, by whom? Hon NORMAN MOORE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The member is referring to part of a comment made in the Legislative Assembly on 9 November 2010. To place the comment back into context, the full statement by the Premier was — I am relying on memory, but I certainly discussed it with the Minister for Mines and Petroleum. I believe I also discussed it with the Minister for Environment. Whether that was one, two or three meetings, I do not know, but I will happily check that and tell the member in due course. After conducting the relevant checks, it was confirmed that no meeting took place with the Minister for Environment. A meeting occurred with the Minister for Mines and Petroleum at his request. (2)–(3) Not applicable.
