asked the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 16 January 2011:

(1)   Is the defence radar on Turkey Hill, Acland intended to be moved for the stage 3 expansion of the New Acland Coal Mine (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 referral no. 2007/3423); if so, will this be at the expense of the taxpayer.

(2)   Do army helicopters transiting from the nearby Oakey base avoid the existing New Acland Coal Mine to escape dust damage to engines.

(3)   Does the stage 3 expansion of the New Acland Coal Mine have any other implications for national defence operations in the area.
