I refer to the Fourth Annual Kimberley Energy and Resources Development, 9 - 10 May 2011, Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome at which Dr Ivor Roberts, Executive Director – Mineral Titles Division, Department of Mines and Petroleum, spoke next on ‘Government initiatives and mineral project approvals in the Kimberley’, in which according to Mr Roberts, data from the Federal Government indicated that four billion had been expended last year on exploration, and I ask -
(1) Does form five expenditure support this figure?
(2) If yes to (1), what were the expenditure figures for 2010?
(3) If no to (1), why not?
(4) What were the expenditure figures for 2010?
(5) Can the Minister also advise what the total amount of expenditure exemptions for 2010 was?
(6) Which leaseholders sought and received expenditure exemptions for 2010?
