I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The 2004-05 and 2005-06 statements of corporate intent for the Esperance Port Authority have already been tabled and are publicly available. (2)-(4) The minister has previously given evidence on these matters to the parliamentary inquiry into the cause and extent of the lead contamination in the Esperance area, which is also publicly available. She does not think it appropriate to make comments outside of this process while the inquiry is still formulating its report.
