GEOTHERMAL ROYALTIES
647. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
I refer to media reports that
geothermal company Good Water Energy has been forced to relocate to the
Northern Territory to invest in green hydrogen, resulting in the potential loss
of $10 billion in investment and 5 000 jobs. Why is the minister and his
government continuing to place roadblocks in the way of green hydrogen projects
in WA, including the threat of headwork energy royalties?
Mr W.J. JOHNSTON
replied:
We are not.
