Natural Resources Committee: Unconventional Gas (Fracking) Interim Report

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. S.W. Key:

That the 106^th report of the committee, entitled Unconventional Gas (Fracking) Interim Report, be noted.

(Continued from 22 June 2016.)

The Hon. S.W. KEY (Ashford) (11:21): Members will remember that we introduced this report because of the huge number of submissions and witnesses we had in this particular inquiry. It seemed important, particularly at the time when we introduced the 106^th interim report, that we acknowledge the fantastic effort on the part of industry, people who live in the South-East region and also experts in the field. We wanted to publish more or less a bibliography of the contribution thus far. This particular interim report is now done and dusted because we did deliver our final report. I commend the motion to the house.

Motion carried.
