Murujuga rock art—North West Shelf extension
813. Hon Sophie McNeill to the Minister for the Environment:
I refer to the
federal government's statement of reasons informing its approval conditions for
Woodside's North West Shelf extension.
(1) When did the minister receive the federal
minister's statement of reasons?
(2) Did the minister inform the Premier that the
federal environment minister rejected key findings of the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program: Monitoring Studies
Report 2024 and, if yes, when did this occur?
(3) Did the minister inform the Premier that the
federal environment minister labelled the Cook government's conditions to
protect the Murujuga rock art as "not sufficient" and, if yes, when
did this occur?
