I thank Senator Bishop. The Gorgon joint venture was to be developed as an Australian industry participation policy in the early stages of this project and it is actively ensuring that local firms have every opportunity to get involved. It is working with the Industry Capability Network to identify Australian suppliers for the project. The Commonwealth has granted the network $159,000 to support this work. Gorgon is also advertising upcoming procurement and contract opportunities on its website, engaging with potential suppliers through regular supplier briefings and introducing Australian firms to global companies and supply chains.
