Queensland's untapped mineral and gas resources have been very much in the fore as other states struggle to meet their energy needs. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says he already has commitments from several major LNG exporters from Curtis Island, and is still waiting for a response from the Santos-led consortium, to be net contributors to the domestic market to ensure availability; he says landholders should be properly rewarded for the extraction of gas from underneath their land; defends the federal government's actions in support of the proposed Adani Carmichael coal mine; says no government has put more resources into protecting the Great Barrier Reef than his and the expansion of Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme will provide the storage solutions that will support the progression of renewable energy sources. In response to the latest developments in the white spot outbreak in Queensland, Mr Turnbull says his government stands ready to do 'whatever it takes' to protect Australia's biosecurity and has announced $1.7 billion toward the emergency response. He says it is a 'breach' of the import system that must not be repeated, but maintains the import risk assessment process has not failed.
