I move:

That the Senate—

(a) welcomes the commencement of gas exports from QCLNG's Curtis Island Queensland Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant, the first in the world to produce LNG from coal seam gas (CSG), and

(b) notes that these plants will eventually produce roughly 8 per cent of global LNG production, transforming Australia into the world's largest gas exporter by 2017 and potentially generating $53 billion in export earnings between 2013 and 2017.

Question agreed to.
