GOLD CORPORATION — REVIEW
126. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I refer to the announcement by the
Minister for Mines and Petroleum that a root-and-branch review was to be
conducted into Gold Corporation in September 2022, with a reporting deadline of
December 2022. I refer also to the information that he provided to senior
government officials last year. Has the Premier or his office been briefed on
this review or have they been provided with any copies of it?

The Minister for Mines and Petroleum
is not here. He is obviously involved in some matters in which he is pursuing
the state's interests overseas. I am sure he will be back and able to
answer the member's questions in due course. I do know, as I may have outlined to the house yesterday, that he
requested Gold Corporation to undertake some due diligence of its
operations, maybe last year. That is how the issues surrounding the US model
code were uncovered, which have been around since 1998, and some compliance
issues there that we are in the process of fixing. I know that he ensured that
Gold Corporation undertook that activity.
In
terms of the exact detail of the member's question, I would urge him to
ask the Minister for Mines and Petroleum.
