"Today I was joined by Tracey Hayes-Country Liberal Party for Fannie Bay and Toby George - Country Liberal Party for Port Darwin to announce that we support the continued development of the onshore gas industry in the Northern Territory. The production of onshore gas has been taking place for 50 years in the Territory without incident and five separate scientific reviews have concluded that a properly regulated industry will not harm our environment. This includes the independent inquiry into hydraulic fracturing in the Northern Territory that found that based on extensive evidence collection and expert reviews on all aspects of exploration and development in the NT environment, that with appropriate regulation the NT could safely support an onshore gas industry." - Lia Finocchiaro
