Today’s Press Conference with Chris Bowen. it amazes me that they can be asked a question about GAS requirement in NSW - but they will NOT mention PEP11 at all!!

JOURNALIST: Well, yes, on gas, you talk about the need for more gas, which, you know, everyone, most people recognise, but the big question is where to get it is, you know, we know Bass Strait's running out, there's a few people exploring in Bass Strait, but the big kind of elephant in the room has always been onshore gas in both Victoria and New South Wales. And that's kind of, you know, locked under farmland that the operators argue is needed to produce food for Australia or the region. So, where do you see that gas coming from?

CHRIS BOWEN: Well, there's a number of gas proposals under development, whether it's Beetaloo, Narrabri, Surat, Bowen Basin, a whole bunch. Not all will be needed, as I said in there, some will be needed and the market will determine what's the most viable projects in the earliest possible timeframe.
