WHEATSTONE LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS PROJECT — LOCAL GOODS AND SERVICES
I have a supplementary question. Noting that answer, and also noting that before the final investment decision could be made, Chevron had to do its bankable feasibility study in order to make that recommendation to the board, it knows exactly how many tonnes of steel are in its projects and how much it will cost. Why can the Premier not tell this house how many tonnes have been allocated to local content, or why has the Premier not asked Chevron that obvious question? Mr C.J. BARNETT

Having announced the decision to proceed with Wheatstone yesterday, I would think that the tender process will get underway from now on. That is where it is at. Chevron has not awarded tenders, but it will. Mr P.C. Tinley : But it knows how much steel is in the project. Have you even asked the question? Mr C.J. BARNETT : Get off your backside and go down to Chevron’s office and ask it yourself! Mr P.C. Tinley : I already have. I know the answer. Mr C.J. BARNETT : Do a bit of work, because it probably has not got to that point yet. Instead of coming in here and knocking projects and knocking investment in Western Australia, actually do a bit of work instead of grizzling and complaining, because members on this side of the house are about developing Western Australia.
