Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer. Given that at least three of the five Browse Basin LNG joint-venture partners—Shell, Chevron and BHP—have stated on the public record their preference for gas processing options outside the Kimberley and have expressed concern over attempts to force them to go to the Kimberley, will the minister remove the pre-emptive Browse retention lease conditions that are currently being imposed? If not, why not?
