NATIONALS Senator Barnaby Joyce has weighed back into the coal seam gas debate, saying it was Labor governments who oversaw approvals for projects now being brought into question.
The Queensland government is being urged to hold a full public inquiry into allegations the approval process for two major developments in that state were rushed.
The issue of coal seam gas (CSG) projects and their effect on water and agricultural land is also a hot topic in the federal electorate of New England in NSW.
Senator Joyce is hoping to get the nod to run as the Nationals' candidate for New England in the September 14 election.
The seat is held by independent Tony Windsor who has been a vocal advocate of the need for more scientific rigour in approvals of CSG mines.
Senator Joyce said the problems with licence approvals called into question the efficacy of new oversight processes the federal government has put into place.
"Don't forget that these problems emanate from a state Labor government that put in place these licences and a federal Labor government who had oversight," he told ABC TV on Tuesday.
He said the "Labor-Green-independent alliance" wanted to have it both ways on the matter.
"They're both for coal seam gas when they're handing out the licences and against coal seam gas when it suits them," he said.
