Chairman of the Manning Alliance Peter Epov received a standing ovation following his testimony to the parliamentary inquiry into coal seam gas mining held at Club Taree on Monday afternoon.
The afternoon session of the inquiry heard compelling testimony from various community groups with local farmer Bruce Robertson's testimony greeted with similar enthusiasm from the public gallery.
Mr Epov gave an impassioned opening statement in which he highlighted, amongst other things, the amount of former government workers now employed by the coal seam gas mining industry.
"We do not like the fact that so many former politicians, staffers and government employees are now working for this industry, it's a little like insider trading."
