"This week, four toxic chemicals - benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) - were discovered in eight exploration wells owned by Australia Pacific LNG in the Surat Basin"

"I have decided that these projects can go ahead without unacceptable impacts on matters protected under national environmental law," Mr Burke said, revealing he had placed 300 conditions on each of the projects.

This is unbelievable! They found simliar chemicals as were found in the Cougar bores (although I am unsure of the levels that were found and how they compare - although I do know that the Cougar levels were completely safe - FACT)but yet they are given the go ahead this week!

How is this possible, Cougar are still shutdown and have been for months and who knows when they will be given approval to commence again.

Am I missing something or is this double standards and hypocrisy of the highest order?
