QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr RYAN (Kooyong) (14:17): My question is for the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The Santos Darwin LNG facility has been leaking massive amounts of methane for almost 20 years. Three federal bodies—NOPSEMA, CSIRO and the Clean Energy Regulator—have known and done nothing.

Underreporting like this makes a mockery of the safeguard mechanism and of your claims about decreased emissions. Will you deny Santos any further approvals until it acts to rectify this longstanding act of environmental vandalism?
