I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(5) If compensation is to be paid for the acquisition of land for the purposes of a gas processing precinct in the Kimberley, it will be via consolidated revenue. It is hoped and intended that the acquisition of any selected site will be via negotiation. If negotiation is not successful, the issue will be resolved via either the Native Title Act or the Land Administration Act. If the member would like a more detailed response, I request that the question be placed on notice.
