Sharon Claydon, Federal Member for Newcastle, has today welcomed the news that the Minister for Industry and Science, the Hon. Ed Husic MP, has carefully considered all material submitted by Asset Energy Pty Ltd and formed a preliminary view that the PEP-11 applications should be refused.
"The Minister's preliminary view that PEP-11 should be refused is great news for Newcastle"
"The Newcastle community's message has been loud, clear and consistent - PEP-11 is not welcome. NOT in Sydney, NOT on the Central Coast, and certainly NOT in Newcastle."
"This is an important step in making sure that we put an end to PEP-11 once and for all."
"I thank the Newcastle community - this couldn't have happened without your steadfast advocacy!"
