The release comprises 11 documents of correspondence between the Minister for Resources, Madeleine King, and Woodside Energy, mostly from the Minister's invitations inbox, covering January to June 2026. Most are event invitations: a CME Prime Minister industry breakfast (29 April 2026), the launch of Woodside's Global Indigenous Peoples Strategy 2026–2030 (23 July 2026), a Fremantle Dockers match hospitality offer, and meeting requests with Woodside's government relations staff and new executives. The most substantive item is Woodside's 29 April 2026 response to the Minister's notice of intention to consider a Q3 2026 domestic shortfall quarter under the Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism. Woodside argued the east coast market is well supplied, citing prices below $10/GJ and AEMO's GSOO forecast of no shortfall until 2029. It noted Bass Strait supplies about 40% of east coast demand, and welcomed the proposed Unlimited Volume permission for WA-based LNG projects. Other items raise the Safeguard Mechanism Review, PRRT and the Domestic Gas Reservation Scheme.
