Questions are being asked as to what Santos has to hide after the company objected to the release of 34 documents relating to their coal seam gas operations in the Pilliga Forest, near Narrabri in north-western NSW.
In March 2012, we applied under freedom of information laws for access to documents relating to the Santos coal seam gas operations in the Pilliga Forest.
We have now been informed that Santos has objected to the release of 34 of the 41 documents covered by the application.
"By objecting to the public release of these coal seam gas documents, Santos is acting as if they have something to hide," said Naomi Hogan, our Newcastle based campaigner.
The list of documents Santos are trying to hide from public view have illustrative titles such as 'EDA Rig Spill', 'Blow Out Fluid Loss of Control', ‘Santos Incidence Report’ and 'ESG Drill Fluid Release ICAM Report'.
The documents Santos are trying to keep hidden appear to relate to a series of environmental failures with their coal seam gas operations in the Pilliga Forest - failures which the community has every right to know about.
