Bligh links fracking to schools: critics

Premier Anna Bligh wants to spruce up the image of an unpopular and controversial gas industry by linking it to the future of Queensland's children, critics say.
Ms Bligh on Monday announced her Mines to Minds plan would use billions in royalties from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry for an education trust.
From 2015, a $4000 scholarship would be provided to every Year 12 student who goes on to undertake further education or training.
The multibillion-dollar gas industry in Queensland processes coal seam gas (CSG) into LNG.
