The Gas to Queensland Project was unique. It involved a direct agreement with Australian companies - and included the not insignificant derivatives that could value-add and be converted for fertiliser production in particular.
The abandonment of the project took away a very significant addition to the Australia Papua New Guinea relationship.
It has also denied Australia a reliable, cheap and abundant supply of pure natural gas, something so desperately needed today!

I attach a short but compelling speech by the then PNG High Commissioner to Australia, Sir Charles Lepani. It sets out the benefits to both countries of the project with clarity.
Prime Minister Marape could at least invite his Australian counterpart to work with the PNG Government to have the project re-evaluated.
It is worth nothing less!
