Mr Martin Ferguson asked the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources, in writing, on 9 October 2006:

Further to his response to question No. 4005 concerning the Ethanol Production Grants Program (27 September 2006), on what basis did Tarac Technologies Pty Ltd not receive a grant.


Mr Ian Macfarlane (Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources) —The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:

Depending on the timeframe in which claims are made by companies under the Ethanol Production Grant Program, there are instances where claims are received in a particular month but are not able to be processed and paid until the following month.

Tarac Technologies Pty Ltd made a claim for a grant under the Ethanol Production Grant Program after the June 2006 financial close for processing claims under this program. Therefore the grant to Tarac Technologies Pty Ltd was paid in July 2006, rather than in June 2006.
