Скачать или смотреть Energy projects ‘vital’ to country’s economic future ‘jeopardised’ by activism

As activism has taken hold in Canberra and in our courts it’s “becoming harder and harder” to extract the resources the world needs, says Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“And to create the income that our budget needs, mostly by piling on extra environmental rules," she said.

"Energy Producers head Samantha McCulloch says 40 environmental plans for new gas projects were 'queued up' in the approvals processes of the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority, basically stuck there since last year's election.

"McCulloch says that many of the held-up projects would actually help to reduce emissions by facilitating a shift from coal to gas.

Ms Credlin said none of this makes any difference to the activists intent on stopping all use of fossil fuels.

"Honestly, what serious country allows projects vital to our economic future, and our long-term national security, to be jeopardised like this?"
