IRON ORE REVENUE FORECAST METHODOLOGY
159. Mr B.S. WYATT to the Premier:
I ask a supplementary question. At
any point, has this been reported by cabinet or the Economic and Expenditure
Reform Committee?

AnswerView source ↗

The figures are certainly looked at. That was a change in
Treasury methodology to try to get a more reliable handle on future iron ore
prices and the impact on royalty—in no way influenced by me or the
Treasurer. It is a Treasury methodology. It is as simple as that.
