FRACKING TO GET THE NOD by:
Joe Spagnolo, Political Editor, who writes.
Premier Mark McGowan looks set to lift a Statewide moratorium on fracking, in a move which has put him on a collision course with Labor backbenchers. Labor insiders said "It was almost certain" fracking would be allowed in many parts of WA as part of a peace deal with onshore exploration companies. As yet, the results of the scientific inquiry chaired by Dr Tom Hatton, have not been made public. Labor insiders said that the report was "favourable" towards fracking - a finding which had made it difficult for Mr McGowan to stick to a blanket ban.
With Cabinet soon to formally announce a position, Mr McGowan has moved to appease anti-fracking MPs by inviting them to a briefing by Dr Hatton tomorrow.
