It is hard to find the right words here ... everything hinges on the Queensland State Government.

It is great to see formation of the Australian Syngas Association and it is great to see that group going in to bat for Cougar.

Strong words, make that very strong words, for Peter Bond of LNC to say to Australian Associated Press:


"... the state government has mishandled the Cougar situation.

Linc Energy managing director Peter Bond told AAP it was wrong for the state government to continue to hold up Cougar's operations despite test results clearing them of contaminating ground water.

Mr Bond said he also believed the government did not properly consult Cougar before going public with the contamination scare.

"The government's handling of the whole Cougar case has been extraordinarily poor," Mr Bond said.

"You have to argue the shareholders in Cougar have a class action case against the Queensland regulator on the basis of the way it was so mismanaged by the government."

Peter Bond doesn't mince his words here.

I'm sure there will be significant national and global distribution of Peter's words in the following days.

Horrible press for the struggling Bligh Government which has itself created some of the worst public relations for itself, a nascent billion dollar CSG to LNG industry in that state, a pre-nascent greener UCG industry in that state that I can imagine ... you couldn't script a more inept plot if you locked a talented advertising team up for a month long workshop.

The Government has set agriculturalists against coal miners, GSG corporates and emerging UCG companies ... at stake is the future of Queensland and sky rocketing electricity prices that the incoming govenment will no doubt be left to deal with.

Neither an early or delayed election will save Anna ... she's gone imo ... she should show some ticker and consideration for the people of Queensland and call an early election.

Borrowed from The Matrix .... Queensland Government, what will you do ... what will you do?
