QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the decision announced by the Premier on 16 June 2000 to allow applicants for exploration, prospecting and mining leases to apply to the Department of Minerals and Energy to bypass native title requirements. (1) Has the Department of Minerals and Energy written to applicants for grants of mining, prospecting and exploration leases - mining leases - advising that the 60-day period in which to apply for an exemption from native title requirements has expired? (2) Have further grants of 30-day extensions been made; and if so, how many lease applications are affected? (3) Have applicants been advised by DOME that no further extension of time will be granted? (4) Have applicants been advised by DOME that applications for mining leases will be refused if applicants do not seek extinguishment? (5) Have applicants been advised that the processing of these extinguishment applications is conditional on native title negotiations ceasing? Hon N.F. MOORE

The preamble to that question is the same as the preamble to the question asked by Hon Graham Giffard, so I will not repeat the remarks I made about the question of bypassing native title. (1) Where an applicant has not responded to a 60-day letter, a 30-day follow-up letter is sent. The second letter indicates that failure to provide the information may result in refusal of the application. (2) Additional time to provide information is given when it is sought. Details of the number of leases affected are not known. (3) No. (4) See (1). (5) No.
