  1. We don’t need debates . . . We need accountability.

    • Is this the same ECNT that lied and made up stories about a underwater sea dragon near the tiwi islands.

  2. “All regulatory approvals are in place” they say. But that was before anybody knew about the leak!!!
    C’mon Selena, don’t leave it to Kat and Justine. You know Lia won’t do anything.

  3. How can independent staff that don’t exist write?

  4. this story does not reflect well on the regulators, who we’re all relying on to manage fracking risks.
