AN INQUIRY INTO UNCONVENTIONAL GAS EXPLORATION IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA COULD BE UNDERWAY AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK FOLLOWING LIBERAL PARTY SUPPORT FOR A GREENS MOTION IN STATE PARLIAMENTS UPPER HOUSE. The Opposition amended the motion by Greens MP Mark Parnell to ensure the Parliaments Natural Resources Committee (NRC) focused primarily on the south east, an agriculturally rich region heavily earmarked by the State Government for shale gas extraction. The Liberals last month voted against the Greens inquiry because its focus was state-wide rather than on the south east. Liberal Member for Mount Gambier Troy Bell had since tabled a south-east focused motion for debate in the Lower House where it was destined for defeat by the Government and independents. mobile.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-20/liberals-side-with-greens-to-support-fracking-inquiry/5905128
