CONCERNS over Queensland's multi-billion dollar CSG industry demonstrate the need for a Liberal National Party government to "sort out the mess," according to Campbell Newman.
As anti-mining protests continue in Queensland, a Newspoll conducted exclusively for The Australian has found only 33 per cent of respondents in favour of Coal Seam Gas industry development and 40 per cent opposed, something the LNP leader seized on today.
"Clearly that's not good enough and it reflects that Labor have created a mess," Mr Newman said while campaigning in Brisbane.
"We have a policy to sort out the mess, we have a policy that will actually provide fairness and equity in terms of the dealings between resource companies and the farmers and we're very committed to that. It will also very strongly be about tightening environmental standards, particularly protecting precious underground water."
