SMH - Nationals negotiating (Giant?) Metgasco compo to walk away

Part 2 of the Gas spread is out. Two of the Nationals want to ban CSG in the Northern Rivers.
& quote  
"Gulaptis and Franklin are working behind the scenes for a change in policy and an offer of compensation to Metgasco, the major explorer in the region."
Rumours in WA (do the sandgropers even care?) are a quarter million payout.  Rumour is that is why they ditched the Elk merger. On to bigger and better things with a wad of cash to make it work. Not sure those rumours are true but Granny Brown said where there's smoke, there's fire. And nobody messes with Granny Brown
