The following link is worth a read.
The bubbling is intensifying in the condamine river -
and nobody has answers. It confirms that the
investigations will be ongoing.

There is an election in the offing. The Greens are the greatest producers of gas, bar none. Hydrogen sulphide though (rotten egg gas).

Methane is the Natural Gas used in the home. Australia has a lot of it and that is good for the economy and the public.

Now, why is the Palaszczuk Labor Government apparently shielding from prosecution that attention-seeking Greens vandal from NSW who sets fires in the open in complete disregard for laws and good sense?

Jays,

"unfortunately the same can be said of every Politician that's ever been elected."

Not so for the Shooter and Fishers Party MsP nor for the great Liberals Ted Mack, who left Parliament early so that he disqualified himself for a pension and thus would not be a burden on the taxpayers and Edward StJohn who told the truth in Parliament and stuck to Liberal Party Principles and was dropped by the Liberals as a consequence; there have been others.

Paul,

The matter at hand is the credibility of Buckingham and the Greens in general.
Moses and the burning bush is quite pertinent as the Israelis worked out the approximate location of the Biblical incident and successfully drilled for oil, it is relevant as an example of the first principle of exploration for oil or gas and of the fact that these emissions occur naturally.

If there was a fire ban in the area at the time then Buckingham is apparently guilty of a crime and should face court.

Hey Foxy,
Part of that article you linked to spoke about the fact Origin was doing the monitoring themselves and that there needed to be be more transparency.

If Origin is doing the monitoring and publishing the reports themselves, then they might be just as likely to use that position to play down any responsibility - 'we don't know what's wrong'; if they already know that they have contributed to the problem.

Those reports might be covering up the truth rather than exposing it.
Whilst I'm not saying they are, one does need to be open minded about these things.

Is Mise, Moses and the burning bush, sorry to disappoint. On the balance of probability there was most likely no Moses and therefore no burning bush. Just stick to the more believable fair tails like 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Besides if old Moses was fooling around with matches, and setting fire to bushes, Beach would have him shot! Did he have a combustible permit>
Now I know you are kidding. Claiming the Two Bobs, Tweedle Dum Bob, and his side kick, Tweedle Even Dummer Bod, from the Shooters and Hooters Party have some integrity, in the mold of a Ted Mack, a pair of reprobates if there ever was. They would sell out their grandmother to get their own way. Next!

The Greens believe that observing laws is optional where they are concerned.

In Queensland it is illegal to light a fire in the open without a permit. It is far worse if a fire ban is in place, obviously.

Some pertinent information from the Fire Permit Application, which was apparently never lodged by that irresponsible, headline-hunting Green,

<In addition to obtaining a Permit to Light Fire, I understand that I must comply with Local Government, State Government and Federal Legislation when constructing fire breaks and burning vegetation.

» I understand and accept it is my responsibility to have checked with my Local Government to ensure there is no local law restricting or prohibiting the lighting of fires prior to submitting this Application.

» I understand and accept that I must have obtained permission from my local government to light a fire, if required by local law, prior to submitting this Application.

» I verify that there are no toxic and/or hazardous materials that will be consumed by the fire.

» I understand and accept that if the fire escapes my firebreaks, I must report this fact immediately via 000 and take all reasonable steps to extinguish or control the fire until it is contained;

» I understand and accept that I am required to have a current Permit to Light Fire in my possession while this fire is still burning; and

» I understand and accept that the perimeter of the fire (s) is / are to be made safe and the fire patrolled until there is no longer any risk of the fire escaping.>

He didn't have a fire unit attending for example. That was even if he was able to get approval in the first place.
