Environmental Defenders Office welcomes the opportunity to make a submission on the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Legislation Amendment (Safety and Other Measures) Bill 2024 . This submission is concerned primarily with the proposed addition of section 790E to the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (Cth), and does not address the other measures in the Bill.
EDO has addressed two key issues for the Committee’s attention: the timing and context of this inquiry; and the impact of proposed section 790E.
