I do believe you are right Carna. The Department and the Minister may well be distracted to their current restructuring. Not sure we can get anything from the Minister who could be preoccupied with the changes that will create some chaos in the Department leading up the 1 July legal separation. As follows:-

"The Western Australian Government has announced significant structural changes to the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS). This strategic restructuring will split the department into two separate agencies with distinct responsibilities, marking a new era for resource management in the state.

The first new entity will be the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE), which will focus exclusively on resource sector development and administration. The second will be the Department of Local Government, Commerce, Industry Regulation and Safety, which will handle broader regulatory functions.

The implementation of these reforms will follow a structured timeline, with an $18.7 million transition budget allocated to ensure a smooth process. The changes will unfold in three distinct phases:Legal separation (beginning July 1, 2025)Systems migration (Q3 2025)Full operational independence (by December 31, 2025)This phased approach allows for careful transition management, minimizing disruption to ongoing operations and providing stakeholders with clear expectations about implementation timelines."

But who knows
