Released documents show government consideration of INPEX's Major Project Status (MPS) application for the Bonaparte Carbon Capture and Storage Project. Internal correspondence from February-March 2025 indicates Resources Minister Madeleine King expressed strong support and committed to contacting Minister Husic (Industry). INPEX government affairs staff sought approval to proactively lobby Minister Husic's office and Trade Minister Don Farrell, acknowledging slim prospects before the election. Department of Industry briefing materials confirm the MPS application followed standard 50 business-day assessment procedures with regulatory consultation and remained under Minister Husic's consideration as of late March 2025. Documents reveal direct ministerial engagement on a major resource sector infrastructure project pursuing accelerated government approval pathways.
