Ms O’CONNOR – A quick question on Crown Land Services. We ask this every year. What is the current crown land estate in Tasmania and what was it at this time last year? The question relates to whether or not government has been selling any areas of crown land just on the QT.
Mr DUIGAN – Do we have –
Ms O’CONNOR – You should – we come at you on this one regularly.
Ms MULLER – We don’t have that data with us. I don’t know I’ve ever actually seen that data specifically. There’s a sales team within Crown Land Services that deals with both applications, which is really small parcels of land around easements and so on, and then there is the public sales program. But I have never seen any data that sort of specifically tracks an aggregate over that, and any variation would be really minor.
Ms O’CONNOR – Okay. Well, I have seen data before on the crown land estate at different time points. If we put it on notice and you can’t find it, whatever. But I wouldn’t mind putting it on notice because I am pretty sure there would be something there in Crown Land Services.
Mr DUIGAN – I don’t think I’ve seen it, but I’m happy to take it.
Ms O’CONNOR – What areas is the sales program targeting for crown land sales? As we understand it, because the government is trying to find savings and some revenue, it might have been an accelerated program of crown land sales.
Mr DUIGAN – No, I wouldn’t say that. There are the normal run of events – crown land transactions that happen – but there is not an accelerated position of the government looking to dispose of crown land assets.
