A Senate committee has called for a moratorium on future coal seam gas (CSG) projects in key parts of Queensland and New South Wales until studies into the impact on groundwater have been completed.
In a rare display of bipartisanship, all sides of politics have endorsed the recommendation.
In all, the committee report contains 24 recommendations for overhauling the management of CSG projects.
It says a national regulatory framework should be established and comprehensive water management plans should be in place before any further production is approved.
