MARK COLVIN: Queensland's Liberal National Party Leader has upped the stakes in the coal seam gas debate by declaring another region off limits. Campbell Newman says he'll knock back any development in the scenic rim, south-west of Brisbane that he deems inappropriate.
Environmental campaigners have cautiously welcomed the announcement, while the Government says it's more about beating Bob Katter's Australian Party to the punch.
