QuestionView source ↗
With regard to the proposed Toro Energy Wiluna uranium project, I ask -
(1) Did Toro Energy conduct a community consultation forum on 19 September 2011 in Wiluna?
(2) If yes to (1), did Toro Energy indicate that this forum was poorly attended?
(3) Was this forum conducted during a period of mourning for a senior Indigenous elder who was a resident of Wiluna?
(4) If yes to (3), does the Minister consider the holding of a community consultation forum during a period where community members are prevented for cultural reasons from attending such events to be appropriate conduct as part of their assessment by a mining company in Western Australia?
