Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion to disallow the Industry Research and Development (Beetaloo Cooperative Drilling Program) Instrument 2021. In other words, the majority voted to keep that instrument as part of our law.

According to the explanatory memorandum:

The purpose of the Industry Research and Development (Beetaloo Cooperative Drilling Program) Instrument 2021 (the Legislative Instrument) is to prescribe the Beetaloo Cooperative Drilling Program (the Program). The purpose of the Program is to encourage and facilitate accelerated gas exploration in the Beetaloo sub-basin through the provision of grants. The Program will support the development of the Northern Territory gas industry while building on the Australian Government’s commitment to unlocking gas supply and contributing to gas security across Australia.
