Senate debates Bills
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development) Bill 2012; In Committee
Barnaby Joyce Queensland, National Party, Leader of The Nationals in the Senate
8:58 pm
My question to the minister is this: is the government currently entertaining or funding research into coal seam gas under this appropriation which is also co-sponsored at the University of Queensland, where it is being undertaken, by the mining industry? If that is the case, do you find that that may be a conflict of interest?
