A significant quote from the program:

JOHN TAYLOR (reporter): What most concerns local Mayor David Carter is that benzene and toluene were not detected in samples before Cougar began a brief ignition of the underground coal seam.

DAVID CARTER: We're probably lucky that we've found that there's going to be an issue, and a contamination has happened early. Because you know, if it had been burning for several months we might have had a catastrophe here.

DERM said as recently as yesterday (Dex's post 585425):

Mr Bradley said the latest samples were also tested for metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium and nickel, which occur naturally in groundwaters.

"The concentrations from bores on private properties are consistent with background results measured against samples analysed prior to the pilot trial burn of Cougar Energy in March 2010," he said.

Joseph Goebbels: A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.
