I refer to the answer given on 12 June 2012 to question on notice No. 5458 and I ask, can the Minister explain why the Pluto flare is still operating at such a high level of intensity, given that four more months have now elapsed since the answer to my earlier question on notice, making seven months in total since the start-up of the Pluto LNG Project?

The Woodside Pluto LNG plant is still in a commissioning phase. While the majority of the plant has been commissioned, several components are yet to be fully commissioned.
The Department of Environment and Conservation has been advised that Woodside intends to submit a licence application for its Pluto plant under the
Environmental Protection Act 1986
in early 2013. The plant is projected to be fully operational by April 2013 and, following full operation, flaring will only be required during shutdown, restart, ship cooling and emergency situations.
