Legal Action by Queensland Governement, page-6

"Dr Miles and Environment Department director general Jon Black fly to Chinchilla this afternoon to speak to landowners.
"We will explain to them what this step means to them and to work with them on the way forward."
Dr Miles said the pollution off the Linc Energy site was not dangerous.
"Frankly, beyond the very serious health concerns for people who worked on the Linc site, the pollution offsite is not of a serious health nature and we have that advice from Queensland Health," he said.
"So our next biggest concern is that the pollution could have on the livelihoods and wellbeing of the landholders near Linc."
Mr Black said the department of Environment and Heritage Protection will allege that Linc caused "wilful and serious damage to the environment."
"The pollution we are talking about is underground, somewhere between two and six metres below the soil profile," he said.
He said monitoring of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide showed the gases - which appear at between two and six metres of the land surface - were not at levels which could impact air or water quality or grazing lands.
"We have expert advice to say there is no impact at all on grazing operations or high value agricultural production in the area."
Linc Energy on Wednesday denied there was ever an "underground fire" and said they would strenuously object to the charges they had caused environmental damage near Chinchilla.
A spokesman said the investigation had been piecemeal and Linc Energy had not been able to meet with the Minister or the director-general to dicuss the allegation.
Linc Energy says its underground coal gasification process involves feeding heat and oxygen into coal seams 135 metres beneath the surface and extracting the gas.
"The investigation has been conducted in a piecemeal manner in which EHP has sought to gather evidence on the run, which has re-inforced our view that there was insufficient evidence to lay the initial charges in the first place," a spokesman said.

"Both the Minister and the Director General have refused to meet with Linc despite numerous requests to discuss the manner in which the proceedings have been conducted, and the haphazard manner in which the regional investigation was conducted."
Linc said the department's own checks showed the gas emitted from the underground coal gasification process' chemical reaction were not at dangerous levels.

"The reality is that the investigations have been ongoing for more than two years and the Department has spent an extraordinary amount of time and money only to confirm that human health, regional air quality, drinking, stock and underground water, grazing and cropping all remain safe," the spokesman said."

I cannot see that there is a case to be won against Linc.

Seems like QLD Govt bullying, vote buying, Greens supporting BS, whilst not discussing with the company deemed responsible for questionable low level pollution, IMO.
