HEARD from Cath Tanna lately?
Yes, she's got a bit on, running BG Group's multi-billion-dollar coal-seam gas operation in Queensland and sitting on the board of the Reserve Bank.
But she really does need to get out more because her near-invisibility highlights why the CSG industry is losing the public relations battle hands down to an unlikely coalition of farmers, greens and rent-a-crowd protesters who have managed to drown out what should be a good news story for the industry.
In this case, the odd glossy cinema ad won't cut it.
Today's Newspoll, the first to test public sentiment in Queensland on the industry, shows public opinion has turned sharply against CSG development, despite the billions it will inject into the economy and state government coffers, and the equally important payoff in jobs.
