There are questions today about the future of the government's promise to consider excluding prime agricultural land from mining and coal seam gas activities.
In its election promise the Coalition said that it would identify the best places for agriculture, mining and coal seam gas extraction.
It also promised to examine enhanced buffer zones and 'ring fencing' with particular reference to proximity to communities and effect on established industries.
And to examine options to protect prime agricultural land so that natural gas development exists in a balanced manner.
