The Member for Heffron, Kristina Keneally, today released this statement to her local community, criticising the NSW Minister for Energy Chris Hartcher for refusing to rule out coal seam gas mining at St Peters and for not committing to community consultation on coal seam gas exploration licences in Sydney's inner suburbs.
"As Minister Hartcher has yet to show any ticker or initiative, I'm not surprised he isn't brave enough to rule out CSG mining in St Peters. But it is remarkable that, when given a chance to explicitly state his support for community consultation with families in St Peters, the Minister failed to do so," Member for Heffron Kristina Keneally said.
Ms Keneally asked a Question on Notice, giving the Minister the opportunity to rule out CSG exploration in St Peters, or failing that, to commit to community consultation on a CSG exploration renewal. Minister Hartcher failed on both counts, instead spending 42 words of his 61 word answer talking about the previous government.
