GFG Alliance

In reply to Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (24 September 2024).

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer, Minister for Defence and Space Industries): I have been advised:

1. GFG Alliance became in arrears on its royalty obligations on 1 August 2024. I was briefed on the royalty arrears promptly during August 2024.

GFG alliance has subsequently engaged with the Department for Energy and Mining to explore strategies for ensuring compliance with its royalty obligations. The government will continue to work with GFG Alliance to ensure the repayment of outstanding royalty obligations.

2. The government has not made any loans to GFG Alliance.
