I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) Shell has
raised a number of concerns about project costs in Australia, and there has
been speculation about Shell's views with respect to the development of
the Browse gas resource. However, Shell has never formally announced a
preference for floating LNG. Woodside is the operator of the Browse joint
venture and so is responsible for all official announcements about the joint
venture's Browse development.
(2)–(3) Not applicable.
