Decision on north-west shelf extension won't be rushed

Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - A podcast by ABC listen - Thursdays

A decision on whether to extend the life of a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in WA's north-west became an election issue as an independent candidate in Fremantle came close to pipping the Labor incumbent due to a campaign against the project. Woodside wants to extend the life of its North West Shelf project until 2070 but it still needs approval from the federal government after a decision was delayed by the previous environment minister. GUEST: Madeleine King, Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Producer: Jacqueline Breen
