Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his government would “rule out PEP11” in the 2022 election campaign but has not acted on the issue since coming to power.
NSW Treasurer Matt Kean came out swinging against a controversial gas exploration project off the NSW coast,known as PEP11. But he can’t stop it.
The Federal Court has given a consent order that nullifies the Morrison government’s decision to stop the controversial PEP11 gas project,which runs past pristine beaches along the NSW coastline.
A gas field off the NSW coastline,which runs past pristine beaches and tourist destinations,is back on the agenda ahead of the state election.
The former government denied the extension of a gas permit and is now being sued in the Federal Court by private company Asset Energy.
One of the most controversial proposed gas developments in Australia,adjacent to NSW’s pristine beaches,has created a rift within the Coalition.
