Campbell Newman desperate over LNP coal seam gas disunity
State Leader of Katter’s Australian Party, Aidan McLindon MP,
said today that coal seam gas policy was continuing to cause
disunity within the LNP under Campbell Newman’s leadership.
Mr McLindon also said that Campbell Newman’s visit to the Scenic
Rim was simply a desperate attempt to conceal the LNP’s pro-coal
seam gas platform.
"Just two weeks ago over a thousand locals covered the Scenic Rim
with anti-CSG messages and the LNP was nowhere to be seen.”
“Now, only days after a third LNP MP has left the party, Campbell
decides to rush out and make an announcement that only
‘appropriate’ CSG developments will be undertaken in the Scenic
Rim. This leaves the doors wide open to coal seam gas,” said Mr
McLindon.
“Only three days ago a man of courage and conviction, Shane
Knuth, blew the lid on Newman’s procoal seam gas mining
policies,” said Mr McLindon.
“Mr Newman is now deceitfully pretending to protect the Scenic
Rim. Yet the fine print on his own policy clearly states that the
LNP will plan for coal seam gas developments in the
region.”
“Under Newman’s dictatorship, the LNP has even shutdown debate
within the ranks of its elected Members. Member for Warrego,
Howard Hobbs, put forward a proposal for coal seam gas companies
to pay proper compensation to landholders. Campbell said
no.”
“The Member for Condamine, Ray Hopper, has also publicly called
for a moratorium on CSG but today, yet again, Campbell said
no.”
“There is angst within the ranks of LNP MPs over coal seam gas
but careers are being put ahead of the electorate’s wishes. The
only solution is to remove weak representatives from the
Parliament and this is what Katter’s Australian Party will
do.”
“The Australian Party will impose a coal seam gas moratorium and
will protect the Scenic Rim, Golden Triangle or Darling Downs.
Campbell Newman has failed to match this position and the only
certainty under his policy is that there will be coal seam gas
wells constructed in these areas.”
“At the next election Queenslanders who want to see the back of
Labor can place their trust in the word of Bob Katter and the
Australian Party, or they can gamble on Campbell’s Liberal
Party."
