Mining Industry

In reply to the Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (25 July 2019). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): I have been advised of the following:

The Department for Energy and Mining in the final preparation of the 2019-20 Agency Statement identified that the $4.6 million projection for mineral production did not match the $4.8 million previously used in the 2018-19 Agency Statement. Despite attempts to correct this mismatched projection in the production process, the 2019-20 state budget papers inadvertently retained the $4.6 billion in the final Agency Statement.
