ALUMINA REFINERY (WAGERUP) AGREEMENT AND ACTS AMENDMENT ACT 1978 VARIATION AGREEMENT — DISALLOWANCEAlumina Refinery • March 7th, 2009
Contract Type FiledMarch 7th, 2009This disallowance motion relates to a variation agreement dated 25 February 2008, tabled in the Parliament on 11 March 2008. The agreement is signed by the Premier, Hon Alan Carpenter, and Alcoa Australia. The Greens (WA) want to have this motion debated outside the normal procedures for debating disallowable instruments because we believe that it is important that this matter at least be given some parliamentary scrutiny. At least the issues should be debated and brought into the open. The practical effect of the change to the state agreement act is that, if it is not debated, the changes will take effect at 10.00 pm tonight. We believe that it is important that the issues at least be heard, because they have not been heard elsewhere.
