I seek leave to move an amendment to general business notice of motion No. 117 moved by Senator Dean Smith.

Leave granted.

I move:

After subparagraph (b)(iv) insert:

  (v) Western Australia's LNG sector emits approximately 32Mt of greenhouse gases annually, accounting for one third of Western Australia's total emissions.

After paragraph (c) add:

(d) notes that

  (vi) Chevron and Woodside paid no tax in Australia in 2018 and continue to pay no royalties

  (vii) collectively, Chevron Australia and Woodside Energy have donated nearly $2.7M to the Coalition and Labor since 2011

  (viii) a recent Reputex report found that developing a carbon offset market for LNG emissions in Western Australia has the potential to provide large economic opportunities for investment and job creation across the state, particularly in regional communities.
