QuestionView source ↗
I refer to a file note dated June 23 2000 signed by M D Wallwork, Executive Director Rural Roads addressed to the Commissioner, subject title ‘Kalgoorlie Eastern Bypass Road-KCGM Realignment Proposal’ -
(1) Is it correct that part of this file note states ‘In view of the foregoing it is difficult to sustain the argument that it is a Government responsibility to partially fund (50%) of the cost of realigning the bypass. The alignment selected for the bypass was appropriate at the time. Because circumstances have now changed in the mining environment since that time it does not appear to justify the contribution of Government funds to what is clearly a commercial project’?
(2) If no to (1), what does it in part state?
(3) Will the Minister table a full complete copy of the file note dated June 23 2000?
(4) If no to (3), why not?
