Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan has committed to work with state and territory governments in an effort to lift “ridiculous” moratoriums on gas exploration.
Speaking at the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (Appea) conference in Perth on Monday, Canavan said the federal government’s plans for gas supply in the constrained East Coast not only relied on a regulatory instrument like the Australian Domestic Gas Supply Mechanism, but also recognised the need for new supplies.
