I refer to the media statement "Significant milestone for protection of Murujuga country" on 29 February 2024, and I ask: (a) will the Premier instruct
the Minister for Mines and Petroleum to remove the temporary reserve number 70/6697 that still
exists over the areas identified in the joint press release, and the areas
proposed for World Heritage, which is for the express Ministerial purpose of "the North West Shelf Gas Project and any other approved development"; (b) if no to (a), why not; (c) if yes to (a), when will the Premier advise the Minister for Mines to take such action; (d) will the temporary reserve number 70/6697 and its industrial
purpose over the Burrup land area still exist if World Heritage is granted over
this area; (e) were the Premier and Ministers aware of the existence of temporary reserve number 70/6697 prior to issuing their press release on 29 February 2024; and (f) if no to (e), why not?
