The Federal National Party’s framework statement on coal seam gas mining released earlier this week has been criticised by two key landholder representative groups.
On Sunday the Nationals announced the principles that will guide the party's approach to CSG policy in future. Leader Warren Truss said the Nationals were seeking to develop a balance between harnessing the economic opportunities offered to regional Australia by the CSG industry, while avoiding potential negative impacts that could result in environmental and social disasters.
However its early approach has failed to win the backing of two groups that represent landholders specifically affected by coal and coal seam gas mining issues.
The Basin Sustainability Alliance described the National's announcement as 'too little, too late'.
