- A letter from the secretary of the WAPC to HOPP dated 11 January 2016 reinforces the
public perception of WAPC’s bias. It states that the WAPC will make a recommendation to the Minister for Planning after which “The Minister presents this to the Governor for approval, and it is then placed before both houses of Parliament. You will be advised when the amendment is tabled in Parliament”
- This letter reveals that the WAPC regards the approval of the MRS amendment as a
foregone conclusion, illustrating a pre-determined position, eradicating any vestige of public confidence in the WAPC’s impartiality.
- Minister Faragher’s statement in parliament: “once planning … approvals have been
given” also points to an assumption that the WAPC will approve the MRS amendment proposal – i.e. do the minister’s bidding, just as the WAPC did when “approving” the $250,000 allocation of funds to the project in 2003.
