Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull recently signalled that the Federal Government is considering a proposal to build a gas pipeline linking Western Australia to the east coast. The transcontinental gas pipeline was mooted by former state premier Colin Barnett, but WA Mines Minister Bill Johnston says it would require other states to introduction policies requiring a certain proportion of gas to be reserved for domestic use. Johnston also says the State Government is open to discussions with the mining sector regarding the iron ore levy, although he has ruled out abolishing it.
