Moorabool Environment Group Questions Minister Ryan Smith's Ability to be Fair

A LOCAL environment group fighting to keep a coal mining company from operating in Moorabool Shire has said it has lost faith in the Victorian Environment Minister Ryan Smith’s ability to be fair.

Moorabool Environment Group president Kate Tubbs’ comment follows revelations the minister owns shares in two companies involved in coal seam gas exploration. The companies are Brisbane-based Galilee Energy, and Molopo Australia.

Ms Tubbs said ministers should not have shares, especially ones that go directly against the portfolio they were representing.

“It is not right,” Ms Tubbs said.
