I have a supplementary question. Can the Premier outline who

I consulted with the agency and the industry. I do it all the
time. I work very hard. That was ongoing, but the decision-making on this
project has been gone on now over some years to get to this point. But I just
remind the Leader of the Opposition that half the gas out of Waitsia will go
into the domestic market. It will start work soon. When we start to suffer
shortfalls, which we expect later this decade, all gas from Waitsia will be
available for the domestic market, and we have taken the decision that allows
that to occur.
