Parliamentary committee in Western Australia recommends limiting gas exports to secure local supply for gas-dependent industries.

A parliamentary committee in Western Australia (WA) has published a report recommending that onshore gas producers should not be allowed to export their gas unless the WA market is adequately supplied, addressing potential gas shortages in the state. The report comes as a response to concerns raised by the mining sector, particularly ammonia and explosive plants in the Pilbara region, which warned that a lack of long-term gas availability could force their closure. The state's economy relies more on gas than any other in the country.
