Government urged to abandon gas land acquisition - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Government urged to abandon gas land acquisition - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): The State Government is being urged to abandon its plan to take over land north of Broome that was set aside for the Kimberley gas hub.

The land agreement between Aboriginal families and the Government means the state retains control of the land at James Price Point for at least ten years despite Woodside pulling the pin on the gas precinct last week.

The Premier's office has confirmed its persevering with plans to compulsorily acquire the site in case another proponent steps forward.

Greens MP Robin Chapple says the Government should relinquish the land.

"I think there would be immense value in doing that; the problem and ego and testosterone get involved in this and Governments are always reluctant to admit defeat," he said.
