WEST Australian Premier Colin Barnett has defended the process behind the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA) decision to recommend Woodside Petroleum’s proposed $30 billion Kimberley gas hub.
Mr Barnett agreed on Wednesday it was “coincidental” Environment Minister Bill Marmion had changed the law last year to allow one instead of three EPA members to make recommendations – which later happened in the Woodside case.
