AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Environment has provided the following advice — (1)–(2) The Waste Authority made a decision at its meeting on 2 February 2011 that releasing a general communiqué after each meeting was more appropriate than releasing the unconfirmed minutes of the meeting. (3)–(4) The government is currently considering the waste strategy and the minister anticipates that it will be released in the coming weeks. The Waste Authority business plan will be finalised once the waste strategy has been released.
