Abbott stirs pot with coal seam gas comments

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has stirred debate within Opposition ranks, saying a future Coalition government would support coal seam gas extraction "under the right circumstances".

Speaking in Tamworth, where the issue has caused considerable controversy, Mr Abbott has told ABC Radio open-cut mining causes far more environmental damage.

But opponents of CSG, including colourful Queensland MP Bob Katter, say Mr Abbott does not know what he is talking about.
