Ministerial Statement

SCHACHT, MR C.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:26): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement.

Leave granted.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: During a supplementary question in question time the Hon. Rob Lucas asked me about a meeting with Chris Schacht. I should have also mentioned that at a recent dinner Mr Schacht was at a table adjacent to mine and came over to have a brief conversation with me at that dinner, but he did not lobby me in relation to my decision to suspend mining by Marathon Resources. That is the only and last occasion that I have spoken to Mr Schacht.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas: Did you run into him anywhere else?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I do not believe so.
