NYRSTAR

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood) (14:48): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier confirm whether or not he is aware of potential legal action by the EPA against Nyrstar and, if so, whether or not this potential legal action was discussed with Nyrstar executives on his recent visit to London?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development) (14:49): I have nothing to add to the remarks that were made by the minister for the environment about the question of legal action. It is a matter for the EPA. Can I say that in relation to the discussions with Nyrstar, there were no discussions of potential legal action against them in my discussions with the chief executive in London.
