Exactly, Bunya. It doesn't matter that Origin don't use BTEX in their frac fluid. It doesn't matter that this could easily have been caused by an irate local tipping a litre of diesel into the frac pond.

In fact contamination from some source (whether deliberate or accidental) is the only plausible explanation because they don't drill with oil-based fluids and they don't frac with them either, so how could it be in their frac pond?

None of that matters. If DERM were to be consistent they would shut down Origin as well as issue extra monitoring demands to Santos, BG and Arrow. CSG guilty until proven innocent in trial-by-media.
