I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. In 2009 the government committed to work with the resources industry to develop a strategy for best practice, risk–management–based safety regulation within the Western Australian resources sector. To support this, I formed a ministerial advisory panel, which includes industry and union representatives. The panel first met in March 2010 and has continued to meet on a regular basis (2) Not applicable. (3) The panel is chaired by Richard Sellers, director general, Department of Mines and Petroleum. Peak industry and union bodies represented on the ministerial advisory panel are Ian Ashby, president, BHP Billiton Iron Ore, representing the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia; Anne Bellamy, manager, safety and policy, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia, representing CCI; Simon Bennison, chief executive officer, Association of Mining and Exploration Companies, representing AMEC; Eve Howell, executive vice president, health, safety and security, Woodside Energy, representing the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association; Mark Cooper, general manager, commercial, representing the Australian Pipeline Industry Association; and Gary Wood, secretary, Western Australia district, CFMEU, representing UnionsWA. DMP has continued to consult with other appropriate stakeholders, including directly with CME. (4) Yes. DMP has considered input from stakeholders, including concerns and criticisms. The panel members are currently nominating representatives to participate in working groups, which are being formed to further progress the strategy and associated implementation plans and will report progress to the panel. (5) Not applicable. (6) As indicated above, the RADARS strategy is still being developed with input from all panel and working group members, including representatives of the CME and UnionsWA.
