"Our industry is one of the most highly regulated in Australia, with strict rules in place governing how we operate."
-- Jim Knudsen, Senior Vice President QGC PTY Limited
Gasileaks was born out of inadequate/questionable government regulation of the coal seam gas industry.
Over the past 5 years Australia has seen a substantial increase in the production of coal seam gas Australia wide State and Federal governments have failed the people of Australia by rushing approvals for large scale coal seam gas operations throughout Queensland. .
The potential for completely destroying aquifers, river systems and the best of Australia's foodbowls is becoming a reality. Beyond the watch of the government and the industry, it is imperative that both CSG employees and the general public begin taking an active role in monitoring coal seam gas and shale operations. The aim of Gasileaks is to hold both government and industry accountable for actions that threaten the well being of communities.
