Not an attack on Kate Jones, but in relation to the last ann. by Cougar how much credibility does she have to speak about UCG technology and its environmental effects??

Interested in hearing peoples thoughts on that.

It seems a few of these ministers like to speak off the cuff before any official statements are made to either the company, which you would think deserves first notice and the general public.

It seems they just want to tickle the ears of the local people in Kingaroy before making any logic of the situation and before doing the due dilligence.

NEVER believe anything you read in the media or is said off the cuff in my opinion. Always wait for it in writing and for CXY to clarify their stance.

This is politicaly 'over the top'!
