I refer to the Dampier to Bunbury stage 5 expansion project, and to the crop that is near harvest on the pipeline reserve, the loss of production due to the imminent progress of construction work and the loss of any income. (1) Will producers be compensated for any loss of income incurred by the construction of the natural gas pipeline expansion project? (2) Will the project be managed so as not to interfere with production from the coming harvest? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH
