An MLA, a national integrity body and the Environment Centre are calling for action to be taken against the head of the NT Environment Protection Authority after it was revealed on Friday that he did not disclose a perceived conflict of interest he had by working for a lobbyist firm that did work for the co-owner of the Darwin Liquified Natural Gas plant, the gas plant he made key decisions about after it was found to be leaking methane.
The ABC revealed that NT EPA chair Paul Vogel has worked for lobbyist firm Purple, which counted Inpex among its clients, which Mr Vogel did not declare when making decisions about the Darwin LNG plant, of which Inpex is a part owner.
Whilst still digesting the Darwin LNG “twenty years of leakage” debacle. And the related zero accountability as to public awareness. I was further reminded of the Core Lithium mountain of “overburden” reaching to the sky. Is that also awaiting removal or . . . reafforestation?
How low can one government go? I mean are they going to stand anyone down for doing the wrong thing? I guess not. This highlights the level of corruption, hypocrisy, and incompetence this current administration has. They continue to lower the bar and to make matters worse who’s going to stop them. It’s high time to try and share these corrupt leaders to the southern states and try to get their attention.
