LABOR and the Coalition have confirmed they will join forces to defeat a Greens bill that would give farmers the right to refuse coal seam gas (CSG) miners access to their land.
Labor Senator Mark Furner today said the Government would not support Larissa Waters' bill because mineral resources belonged to the Australian people - not individual landowners.
"We believe the right way forward is for the gas industry and landowners to effectively work together for the benefit of everyone," he told the Senate.
