CONFLICT over coal seam gas mining is set to explode as communities react against rogue operators whose wild- west cowboy antics are indefensible, the annual environment conference of the industry's peak body was told at Coolum this week.
Professor Wendy Sarkissian, Australia's leading engagement practitioner, told the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association that the industry was only as good as its worst players.
She said it ran the risk that huge social conflict incited by "renegade standover merchants who were now in the business of wreaking havoc in the Surat Basin and Northern NSW" would lead to bans on the industry.
