The Right to Say 'Yes' or 'No'


State Member for Barwon Kevin Humphries believes the landholder should have the right to say yes or no to coal seam gas companies.

Landholders have the right to say no to gas companies. If they turn up on your doorstep feel free to give me a call,” State Member for Barwon Kevin Humphries said.

The battle between landholders, mining companies and the government is far from over according to Mr Humphries, who was responding to issues raised at the Gunnedah food security forum last week.

According to Mr Humphries, whilst there is collective value on landholders holding similar access opinions, the desire is to reach a situation where each landholder can make their own informed decisions regarding access arrangements.

This means having the right to say 'no' to access but also to say 'yes'.
