DOMESTIC GAS RESERVATION
POLICY — WAITSIA PROJECT
605. Mrs
L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:
I refer to responses to
parliamentary questions in the Legislative Council yesterday, and I quote —
The government's intention to
change the domestic gas policy was not discussed with any developers.
Given that both that the Chamber of
Minerals and Energy and the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration
Association have confirmed to me that they did not know about the change to the
policy, why did the Premier decide to exclude the Waitsia project from the
policy change if no-one had asked for it to be excluded?

I think that the Leader of the
Opposition is deliberately misinterpreting what I said. We announced a policy—our
15 per cent gas policy—to ensure that that gas remains in Western Australia
and is not piped to the east. I do not understand the question.
