    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 23 November 2011] p9642b-9644a Hon Norman Moore IRON ORE AGREEMENTS LEGISLATION (AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND REPEALS) BILL 2011 Receipt and First Reading Bill received from the Assembly; and, on motion by Hon Norman Moore (Leader of the House), read a first time. Second Reading HON NORMAN MOORE (Mining and Pastoral — Leader of the House) [7.35 pm]: I move — That the bill be now read a second time. The purpose of this bill is to authorise variation agreements that amend five iron ore state agreements held by BHP Billiton and its joint venture partners; to ratify an agreement between the state and BHP Billiton and others that terminates the Iron Ore Beneficiation (BHP) Agreement 1996, which I will refer to as the termination agreement; and to repeal three related BHP iron ore processing acts. The following state agreements are to be varied: Iron Ore (Mount Newman) Agreement 1964, Iron Ore (Mount Goldsworthy Agreement) 1964, Iron Ore (Goldsworthy–Nimingarra) Agreement 1972, Iron Ore (McCamey’s Monster) Agreement 1972, and Iron Ore (Marillana Creek) Agreement 1991. The variation agreements provide for increased royalty rates for iron ore fines on a staged basis and other amendments to facilitate BHP Billiton’s Pilbara operations and expansion programs. The amendments to the state agreements noted above will introduce a phased increase in the royalty rate for fines ore from 5.625 per cent to 6.5 per cent from 1 July 2012; and from 6.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent from 1 July 2013 to match the lump ore rate.
