asked the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, in writing, on 15 September 2011:
In respect of round two of the On-Farm Water Efficiency Program:
(1) On what grounds was Irrigation Efficiency Partners Pty Ltd deemed eligible for funding of $32 million.
(2) Is it a fact that in order to be an eligible delivery partner under the program, an applicant must: (a) be an entity with direct and demonstrable links to irrigators such as (i) an Irrigation Infrastructure Operator, (ii) a Catchment Management Authority, (iii) a commodity or agricultural industry group, or (iv) a regional irrigation body; and (b) be financially viable as demonstrated through the provision of audited financial statements and related documents (for at least the last three years).
(3) Is it a fact that an organisation is ineligible if it includes 'organisations which directly supply or install irrigation equipment'.
(4) Do any of the partners of the company (in part 1) supply or install irrigation equipment, and is it a fact that the company received its ABN number only days before tenders closed.
