QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE › Pentland Irrigation Baseload Power Station Study, Northern Australia: Development
Mr KATTER (Kennedy) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. Minister, when does the government intend to release the Pentland irrigation baseload power station study promised for release in December last year by the previous government? Since some investors have already lost interest in a report that is now long overdue, could he consider how many reports over the last 10 years have been undertaken on northern development and water, how much they have cost, and what action has resulted from these myriad reports, whether white papers, green papers, scoping papers or, quite frankly, toilet papers? The SPEAKER: I missed to whom the question was addressed. Mr KATTER: To the Deputy Prime Minister, the Acting Prime Minister, the minister for regional development.
