Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she won't promise Australian backing for a lucrative gas plant to sway East Timor into agreeing to host a regional centre to process asylum seekers.
Woodside Petroleum is planning to process natural gas from the Sunrise gas field on a purpose-built floating platform in the Timor Sea.
The government of East Timor is keen to have a processing plant located on its territory onshore.
Ms Gillard said such commercial decisions should be made in the best interest of shareholders.
The prime minister confirmed a re-elected Labor government would pursue a dialogue with East Timor about the processing centre.
