FOREWORD BY THE HON. IAN MACFARLANE MP, MINISTER FOR INDUSTRY

摘要

Australia's resources and energy commodities continue to supply a global energy market that shows little sign of abating. Australia stands on the cusp of an unprecedented period of expansion where our liquefied natural gas (LNG) production will more than triple over the next five years.The seven projects currently under construction translate to two thirds of the current global investment underway in LNG production. The gas industry is investing close to $200 billion dollars into building this new production capacity - a truly staggering figure. Much of this investment is occurring in rural and regional Australia and is creating thousands of new Australian jobs.
