News: WDS Woodside needs new seismic approval for Scarborough gas project, page-118

The Japanese know that a politicians actions speak louder than words. Labor and their greenie mates don't want Australia to export fossil fuels and that's why they have introduced punitive taxes (gas industry supertax and coal industry royalty hikes) and why they have put unworkable Aboriginal consultation conditions on approvals. The mining industry have huge price cycles and that's why it's punitive to have supertaxes on the periods where profits can be used to balance out the down periods and provide an adequate return for all the risks. All gas producers should put all expansion projects on hold until the government works out if they want Australia to become an overpopulated socialist economic shithole like Venezuela or remain a wealthy and reliable market economy.
