ABORIGINAL HERITAGE ACT 1972 — STATE ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL APPEALS
I ask this question on behalf of Hon Sally Talbot, who is away on urgent parliamentary business. I refer to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. (1) How many ministerial decisions made as a result of section 18 applications were subject to State Administrative Tribunal appeals by the proponents in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 to date? (2) With regard to each of the 2011 SAT appeals, how much time elapsed between the minister issuing the approval and the approval being heard by SAT? (3) Are there any processes whereby ministerial conditions imposed in relation to a section 18 approval can be varied other than by an appeal to SAT; and, if so, what are those processes? Hon PETER COLLIER

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. Unfortunately, the requested information is extensive and, as such, cannot be provided in the time available. I will provide the information to the honourable member as soon as it is available. Once again, as I will always try to be as accommodating as I can, she does not have to put the question on notice. I will get it as soon as I can.
