AgForce is opposed to the "expansion-at-all-costs" approach taken by gas companies
STATE farm group AgForce says a new media blitz by coal seam gas (CSG) companies is proof the gas sector is very worried about a big swing in public opinion against their industry.
AgForce CEO Robert Walker said his organisation and its members aren't anti-CSG, but AgForce was opposed to the "expansion-at-all-costs" approach taken by gas companies with the encouragement of the Queensland government.
"This campaign is an attempt to deflect attention from the real issue - that there is no scientific evidence to suggest CSG exploration and extraction won't harm water reserves, boost salinity levels or threaten the longer term viability of some of our best food-producing land," Mr Walker said.
