    Second Reading

    The Minister for Northern Australia and Resources introduced the Domestic Gas Reservation Levy Bill 2026 as part of a broader package to establish a national domestic gas reservation framework. The legislation imposes a levy on export licence holders to cover the administrative costs of regulating liquefied natural gas exports, ensuring the industry bears these costs rather than the public. The bill aligns with the principal legislation to commence on 1 January 2028, supporting reliable domestic supply while maintaining Australia's role as an exporter. No other members spoke, and the debate was adjourned following the minister's introduction.

    Outcome: The debate was adjourned.
