Free market not free handouts! In short, the government’s new gas plan promises almost no change for the Northern River unless and until the government either buys back or enacts legislation to cancel Metgasco’s licences. There is no doubt the government can legislate to cancel the licences with or without compensation, in fact only weeks before the Bentley suspension the state government foolishly repealed legislation that empowered them to do just that. The gas plan at this stage is nothing more than a lot of hot air to get our local MPs past the March election. Unless we can secure binding commitments from the state government to expunge all of Metgascos’ licences before the election then we may wake up after election day with the prospect of another Bentley anytime over the next four years. #GasfieldFree #NorthernRivers #Metgasco #csg #nswpol #LocktheGate aidanricketts/nsw-gas-plan-mostly-hot-air/
