I would like to provide additional information to Senator Cormann as a result of a question he asked me yesterday in my capacity as Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Energy in regard to Woodside’s statement on our new tax on gas. The answer to the senator’s question is that there is no new tax on gas; therefore, the question is based on a false premise, and the supplementary question of course followed along those lines.
