Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
Noting the answers supplied to

simple questions.

minister, pursuant to section 18(3) of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972, grant
consent to Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd to impact on two Aboriginal sites on 15
August 2019?
(2) Did the

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
There is nothing about simple
questions in the copy of the question I have. I presume it is the same one, but
I could not be confident. This is the answer to the question that has been
submitted.
(1)–(2) This question
relates to question on notice 3329 and will be responded to as part of that
answer.
