It's a Labor government in the Northern Territory as well. Our Wyatt and McGowan are more on the economic right anyway. Likely to have bipartisan support if they do move on it. I think the fact they commissioned the report shows that they want to allow it and they have already ruled it out in the Perth and South West which will please a lot of the left.
A lot will probably depend on what happens in the NT from here as well. If people forget about it, that will help us. If people continue to bang the drum then that isn't so good.
The other thing about the NT report is they have recommended, and the gov adopted, 49% of the state be frack free. Something like that here would please a lot of the naysayers. We shall see though.
