APACHE ENERGY GAS PLANT EXPLOSION — HOUSEHOLD GAS ROSTERS
I refer to the new plan suggested by the member for Central Kimberley-Pilbara to impose household gas rosters to conserve energy consumption. Mr T.G. Stephens : Don’t verbal me. That’s not what I said. Dr S.C. THOMAS : Can the minister explain the implications of this most recent ad hoc response to manage the gas crisis for households and businesses; and, do the minister and the government support this proposal? Point of Order Mr T.G. STEPHENS : My point of order is that I have been misrepresented in the house by the member’s question. Can I make a personal explanation? I have been misrepresented by the question. The SPEAKER : The member may seek the call to ask to make a personal explanation after question time. There is no point of order. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr F.M. LOGAN

I am aware of what was reported in the media. I am not absolutely clear about exactly what the member for Central Kimberley-Pilbara said, but I am sure that he will tell me after question time. We will not roster the use of domestic gas because we do not need to do that. Members must remember how much gas is used in the home. It is a very small amount. During summer, it is about three per cent of the entire pipeline capacity. Mr T. Buswell : How much is it during winter? Mr F.M. LOGAN : During winter, the maximum is around eight per cent of capacity on a cold day. Why would we then tell householders that they should bear a similar burden? Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr F.M. LOGAN : The Premier has been saying continually, and will continue to say, that we are asking people to collaborate to assist in this situation by using energy wisely in the home, whether it be electricity or gas. That will continue to be the government’s message.
