CHAIRMAN of the Manning Alliance, Peter Epov, has praised the deal achieved by the federal members for Lyne, Robert Oakeshott and New England, Tony Windsor on coal seam gas mining as a result of their negotiations with the government over the Mining Resources Rent Tax Bill.
But he warns: “The battle is not over by any means” and “there is still a great deal to do to achieve proper controls over coal seam gas mining in New South Wales”.
Mr Epov said yesterday the alliance is delighted with the outcome achieved by Mr Oakeshott, announced on Monday (Page 1, yesterday’s MRT).
“This is a critical and perhaps the crucial and the single most important step in the fight to manage and control the introduction of coal seam gas mining in Australia,” Mr Epov said.
