WESTPORT TASKFORCE
939. Hon
TJORN SIBMA to the Minister for Ports:
I refer to question without notice 772
asked on 8 August and the recent release of Westport Beacon issue 5
titled ''Long-term container trade forecasts''.
(1) Given the
significant public interest in this matter, will the minister release the
Deloitte Access Economics modelling that underpins the work being done by the
Westport Taskforce?
(2) If no to (1),
will the minister explain why she intends to keep this important information
secret from the people of Western Australia?
(3) In accordance
with section 28 of the Financial Management Act, did the minister refer the
previous refusal to provide information to the Auditor General; and, if not,
why not?

I think we must be living in
parallel universes. There has been no occasion on which I have refused to
provide that data. I certainly suggest the member go and read the answer I gave
to that previous question. I propose to release information on the estimated
container forecast within the next fortnight.
