FORMER premier and Infrastructure NSW chairman Nick Greiner pocketed $1 million from mining company AGL to help open the gate to coal seam gas in the Hunter Valley.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal Setrave, a company owned by Mr Greiner, sold Spring Mountain vineyard, near Broke, for $1 million to AGL Energy Limited in 2009.
AGL has explored for gas and now employs winemaker Brian McGuigan to make semillon under a private label used by its executives.
Controversy is raging over coal seam gas in the Hunter, with millionaires John Singleton, Gerry Harvey and Alan Jones joining winemakers and horse-breeders in a bitter battle against resource companies and any residents who allow exploration on their land.
