“But before I step through in more detail how our plan delivers on those objectives, I want to outline how Australia – with its abundance of gas reserves – has become enveloped in a national gas emergency due to insufficient supply” (Fast track exploration approvals #PEP11).
“A Dutton-led Coalition Government will be tasked with urgently navigating Australia out of our national gas crisis… And we will”
“And I can announce today that to boost investment, a Coalition Government will elevate gas to the same status as a critical mineral: this will ensure gas projects are able to apply for funding from the $4 billion Critical Minerals Facility.
This will ensure gas projects – so critical to our national and international security – are able to access specialised teams within the Department of Resources to support their projects.
This will ensure that gas remains a critical part of the Australian economy for decades to come.”
“We have consistently said that a Coalition Government will fast-track approvals; give favourable access to acreage; and commit funding to infrastructure. In return we need more gas in the domestic market.”
Plenty to like in what Senator McDonald has said. I can only see this as a good sign for PEP11 if coalition get into power. The Senator is also very aware of PEP11 and the situation. They cannot list it as a critical mineral and then not approval a permit to explore for gas. Positive signs.
