Peter;
I am letting you know that following the expiry of the 30 year Cabinet in Confidence on January 1 this year, I am in possession of said study and report.
Coal Mines Explosion Research Report 1990
The Cabinet Minute 00544 16th July 1990 is attached.
I shall forward in two separate emails the Ministerial Report.
As you may or may not be aware, I have previously made Inquiries of both the Mines Department and Simtars about whether either held a copy of the Report. The replies I received in 2020 stated that both cannot locate said Report.
I am also in possession of a copy of the Original Report and am working my way through a comparison of the 2 documents.
I shall forward these as well as I complete the analysis Chapter by Chapter.
Alternatively you may look at them in the meantime at
https://www.qldminingcrisis.com.au/articles/
In the interests of full disclosure could you or the relevant officer formally direct a full search of all Mines Department records from that time.
Yours In Safety
Stuart Vaccaneo
