There's 26 exploration permits still at the status Joint Authority for Decision, and below shows how many business days each permit has been at JA for Decision.

The 2 exploration permits that are now at NOPTA for Decision/Implementation are from the Northern Territory Offshore Area. I'm not sure how MK decides on which permit is next on the list, but I find it positive that the last 2 were from the NT and not from WA. This is just speculation. Out of the remaining 26 permits at JA for Decision, below shows the count for each Offshore Area.
Victoria: 7
Western Australia: 13
South Australia: 2
New South Wales: 2 (PEP11)
Queensland: 1
Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands: 1
