Jones Gives Bligh a Gas-Bagging

BROADCASTER Alan Jones has called for Anna Bligh's scalp, accusing the Queensland Premier of selling out her state's prime farming land to mining companies.   
In a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra yesterday, Jones said food security was the biggest issue facing Australia's future.

Ms Bligh and her Treasurer Andrew Fraser should be asked to stand down for their addictions to mining royalties, the Sydney-based commentator said.

"The mining industry is the Upper House of Queensland - nothing happens without their approval," Jones said. "If any general in war deliberately did to their troops, what the Premier and Treasurer in Queensland have done to their people, they would be court-martialled."

Coal seam gas mining was out of control in Queensland and would turn the state into a "moon crater" and industrial wasteland, he said.
