WA and Commonwealth to share Gorgon load

Tue, 08/18/2009 - 15:18
The Commonwealth and Western Australia will share the long-term liability for a carbon sequestration scheme attached to the massive Gorgon LNG project.

The Gorgon project - which is yet to get the final go-ahead - is expected to create up to 6,000 jobs while in construction, and could boost the national income by more than $60 billion over the next three decades.
