I refer to question without notice No. 4297, asked by the Hon. T. G. Stephens to the Minister for State Development, and the proceedings of the and Industry Conference held in Karratha in July 1988, and ask -
(1) Why is the Boodarie Industrial Estate not technically or industrially feasible for the processing of Liquefied Natural Gas?
(2) In July 1988 at the Resources and Industry Conference held in Karratha, was Port Hedland identified as a suitable location for a Liquefied Natural Gas hub?
(3) If yes to (2), why is Port Hedland now not suitable for an LNG hub?
