Nationals campaign against Inpex plan
Posted
The Nationals' candidate for the seat of Kimberley says, if elected, he will do everything in his power to ensure Inpex is not allowed to build a gas plant on the Maret Islands.
The Japanese firm is one of several companies hoping to process Browse Basin gas and has flagged building a processing facility on either the Maret Islands or in Darwin Harbour.
John McCourt is contesting the Kimberley for the Nationals and says, while he is pro-development, he believes the Maret Islands should remain untouched.
"I will be doing everything I can to discourage Inpex or anyone else for that matter, using the Maret Islands for the processing of LNG," he said.
