WEST TO EAST GAS PIPELINE
1015. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the minister representing the Minister for
State Development, Jobs and Trade:
I note Woodside CEO Peter Coleman's
comments during the Business News Success and Leadership breakfast yesterday
advocating for the west to east gas pipeline. I also note the WA government's
domestic gas reservation policy in which the Premier declared that the WA
government would not support such a pipeline except in exceptional
circumstances.
(1) What does the
Premier envisage such an exceptional circumstance to be?
(2) What steps is the WA Labor government taking to
ensure that these exceptional circumstances do not occur?
