A parliamentary inquiry has found that just two of 16 recommendations for the coal seam gas industry have been implemented more than five years after the Chief Scientist made them | p_hannam
A parliamentary inquiry into the coal seam gas industry in NSW has found two of 16 recommendations for the controversial industry have been implemented,Key omissions included the failure of the Liberal-Nationals government to recover funds from industry to pay for its own regulation. Taxpayers had so far had to pay some $20 million, with the tab rising at the rate of $3.75 million a year, the inquiry's final report found.
Ms Woods said the report - which found six of the 16 recommendation were implemented in part - meant there remained "big holes" in the government's so-called world's best practice regulation of CSG even as it finalised its assessment of the 850-well gasfield proposed by Santos for Narrabri, in north-western NSW.
Justin Field, an independent MP and panel member, said he would bring forward debate on a CSG moratorium after the inquiry's "scathing" findings.
