PEP11 shareholder Asset Energy Pty Ltd has lodged a case in the Federal Court alleging former prime minister Scott Morrison was "biased" in his decision not to renew the exploration permit for the seabed area off the coast of Newcastle.
Mr Morrison held a media conference at Terrigal on December 16 last year in which he said the government - "through my own decision" - was formally rejecting the PEP-11 application having "given consideration . . . to the high levels of community opposition".
