FEDERAL Member for Page
Kevin Hogan has told Federal Parliament how a visit to the coal seam gas mining
fields in Chinchilla convinced him to continue his opposition to CSG in the
Clarence Valley.
On Thursday Mr Hogan
addressed Federal Parliament about his concerns about the impact of CSG mining
in his electorate.
He said he came to the
conclusion that CSG was inappropriate for Page after he visited Chinchilla in
Queensland in January 2013 to speak with community members about the impact of
the industry there.
"I tried to
envisage what the industry would look like in my region," he said.
"I could not see
how the industry could work without being extremely invasive given the nature
of our topography and small land owning. It would be exceptionally detrimental
to neighbouring properties."....
