My question is to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities and relates to four potential routes for a gas pipeline between Narrabri and Wellington by Eastern Star Gas. Given that all these options have caused angst and concern for those who live and work on the magnificent floodplains of the Liverpool Plains, is the minister aware that a fifth option exists, along the Newell Highway, which is supported by the community and has no detrimental environmental impact on the floodplain? Will the minister inspect all these sites prior to endorsing any options?
