Senate Matters of Urgency - Gas Industry
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 2021-06-30

The matter of urgency in this video, proposed by Senator Nick McKim and moved by Senator Larissa Waters, was:

"Opening up the Beetaloo Basin will release massive amounts of toxic methane, a dangerous climate heating gas, and in the words of United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, building huge gas infrastructure now will leave us 'stuck with stranded assets in 10 or 20 or 30 years'."

The transcript of this matter of public importance can be found here: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Hansard/Hansard_Display?bid=chamber/hansards/40613800-1436-428a-bdb0-08ea934125d3/&sid=0000

This video was taken from the 15 June 2021 sitting.
