Domestic gas reservation policy
748. Hon Dr Steve Thomasto theLeader of the House representing the Premier:
I acknowledge the conversation that was had behind the Chair that indicated that the answer to my question will not be ready today, but I plan to read it in.
I refer to the government's domestic gas policy, which was updated by the McGowan government on 17 August 2020 and updated again by the Cook government on 15 August 2023 and 19 September 2024.
(1) What departments or agencies now have regulatory oversight of the domestic gas reservation policy?
(2) Has the government measured the success or failure of the changes in 2020, 2023 and 2024?
(3) How much additional gas beyond current supply levels will be needed in the domestic gas market each year from 2025–26 to 2029–30?
(4) How much additional gas beyond current supply levels has the government calculated will be delivered into the domestic gas market each year from 2025–26 to 2029–30?
(5) When is the government next planning to update this policy?
Hon Stephen Dawson replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. As I indicated behind the Chair, an answer will be provided to that question tomorrow.
