My question is to the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, representing the Minister for Resources and Energy, Senator Carr. Can the minister update the Senate on developments relating to the Gorgon liquefied natural gas project off the coast of Western Australia: what is the export potential of this project and, in particular, what is the potential for sales to our trading partners in the Asia-Pacific area; what other benefits can Australia expect from this project; what are the implications for local workers and firms; what does the project mean for the domestic supply of gas in Western Australia; how much government revenue is the project expected to generate; and how might this revenue be applied?
