Senator BROCKMAN (Western Australia—Deputy President and Chair of Committees) (13:14): This is an absolute betrayal of Western Australia. Even Labor premier Roger Cook has said that this is a poor piece of legislation that could have been better. Senator Watt: No, he didn't.
He said exactly the opposite. Senator BROCKMAN: He said it could have been better, Minister. This is a betrayal of the Western Australian gas industry, particularly when we've got potential shortages on the horizon.
Minister, of Labor premier Roger Cook's five red-line issues, how many have you addressed? The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Minister, I heard your interjection. Senator Watt: I withdraw.
The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Thank you.
