DOMESTIC GAS POLICY —
LNG JOBS TASK FORCE REPORT
590. Mr W.R. MARMION to the Premier:
I refer to the Leader of the Opposition's
question to the Premier yesterday about a report commissioned by the LNG jobs
task force undertaken by ACIL Allen Consulting on domestic gas. Can the Premier
advise whether he has read the report; and, if so, can he advise the house on
its recommendation?

The advice I have is that a tender
was issued two and a half months ago to undertake such a report. The report has
not been conducted and we have not received a report. The advice I received
just before question time is that there is no report. I do not know what the
member is talking about. I was advised that the former Premier was commenting
on these issues earlier today. My view is that Western Australia's
domestic gas entitlement is Western Australia's
entitlement. Other people, including the former Premier, are arguing that it
should be piped to the east. If it is
Western Australian domestic gas, it is Western Australian domestic gas. We do
not say to Queensland , ''You
give us a share of your gas,'' or to New South Wales, ''You give
us a share of your gas.'' If we have a 15 per cent domestic gas
policy for Western Australia, that is for Western Australia. That is not for
other states. I urge all members of this house to support us in ensuring that
the domestic gas obligation contained within the 2006 policy launched by then
Premier Alan Carpenter remains in place and that Western Australian domestic
gas is not sent overseas or to the eastern states.
