I thank the member for some notice of this question. I provide the answer on behalf of the Minister for State Development, so when the member asks if I am doing things, this is what the minister has answered. Hon Kate Doust : Yes, I understand that. Hon NORMAN MOORE : The Minister for State Development replied — (1) The Western Australian government has regular contact with gas-intensive companies, where gas provides an energy source or industrial input, across a diverse range of projects at varying stages of development or potential development. Prospect magazine, jointly produced by the Department of State Development and the Department of Mines and Petroleum, includes as a regular feature an overview of projects in the resources industry in Western Australia. (2)–(3) The supply and price of gas to projects is negotiated between project proponents and gas suppliers. These are commercial issues. However, the Western Australian government has a domestic gas policy under which up to 15 per cent of gas from LNG projects is to be made available for the domestic market with application of the policy occurring on a case-by-case basis. The Minister for Energy’s strategic energy initiative is currently examining energy supply and demand issues more broadly.
