SOUTHERN FORESTS
IRRIGATION SCHEME
1166. Hon COLIN TINCKNELL to the minister representing the
Minister for Water:
I refer to the answer to question
without notice 1106 that did not specifically answer parts (2) and (3). I ask
again about the 28 July meeting with
Donnelly River farmers and the Department of Water and Environmental
Regulation.
(1) Can the
minister confirm that the answers to those questions were provided by the Department
of Water and Environmental Regulation but were withheld by ministerial
instruction?
(2) Why has it
taken the minister's office almost three months to provide answers to
these questions?
(3) In relation
to the minister's reference to ''coming weeks'', does
that mean the coming weeks of 2020, 2021 or beyond?
