GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS — BROWSE TO NORTH WEST SHELF PROJECT

Notice of Motion

Hon Alison Xamon gave notice that at the next sitting of the house she would move —

That this house —

(a)  notes that the greenhouse gas emissions of the proposed Browse Basin and Burrup Hub LNG development will be several times the amount produced by the proposed Adani mine and will become Australia’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions;

(b)  notes that this development, should it go ahead, will actively undermine Australia’s ability to meet its global commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the effects of climate change; and

(c)  recognises that on balance the cumulative impact on the environment is simply too great to justify proceeding and calls on the government to instead prioritise the creation and retention of ongoing jobs in clean and renewable energy industries.
