HONEYMOON MINE

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (15:11): Supplementary, sir: given the minister's answer, what will be the impact in job losses and investment from the mothballing of the Honeymoon mine, and what are the key time lines?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (15:11): We are still awaiting information from the company. We have been in discussions with them. I am very keen to see the workforce maintained to a relatively high level while it's put on care and maintenance, but we will be in those discussions with the company, and when I have an answer I will report back to the house.
