PERTH MINT —
2020 INTERNAL AUDIT REPORT
498. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
I refer to the Senate's Select
committee on the Perth Mint and commonwealth regulatory compliance: The Perth Mint: Final report , which makes regular reference to the 2020
internal audit report, including recommendation 3 —
The committee recommends that Gold
Corporation table before the Western Australian Parliament the 2020 Internal
Audit Report dated August 2020.
I note this report and the minister's
statement this week that the Perth Mint will be staying in public hands. Will
the minister commit to tabling the 2020 internal audit report, which is from
August that year?

I thank the Whip and the Parliament
for letting me attend Diggers and Dealers yesterday. Nearly two and a half
thousand people, I think, attended. I think it might have been a record for
Diggers and Dealers. It was my first one. The old minister is not here. I cannot
make fun of him. One of the things that the gold sector was incredibly happy
about was the announcement we made in this house on Tuesday to keep the Perth
Mint in government hands. As part of that,
some of the Perth Mint's legislation, which dates to the 1980s, will
become much more under government trading enterprise control. I am aware
that the Senate committee made a bunch of recommendations. I know that the
Perth Mint did its best to comply with the Senate inquiry and gave it lots of
information when it was able to, given it was dealing with AUSTRAC and federal
anti–money laundering legislation. I am incredibly proud of the workers
at the Perth Mint and our $34 million program to deal with historical
noncompliance issues. We are very much on track. In the future I hope to update
the Parliament on further progress.
