Looks like a short sighted, political move. Drive a wedge locally and federally.

Call to publicly release 'complete set of evidence'
However, Queensland Resources Council (QRC) acting chief executive Greg Lane said it was very disappointed with the Palaszczuk Government's decision, which had no consultation.
"This unexpected announcement of another commodity ban without the release of the triggering evidence can only raise concern for business confidence and investment in this state," Mr Lane said.
"It is just three years since the Office of Chief Scientist's review confirmed the 2012 Independent Scientific Panel's conclusion that 'underground coal gasification could, in principle, be conducted in a manner that is acceptable socially and environmentally safe when compared to a wide range of other existing resource-using activities'.
"QRC therefore calls on the Government to make public the complete set of evidence it now apparently has that shows the environmental risks of UCG projects of any kind are too high."
