Activists want NSW MPs to support a new bill which would cancel unused gas exploration licences. Jim McIlroy reports.
Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL)
Gas miner Metgasco's surprise announcement on November 2 that it was recommending its shareholders accept a $25 million payout for its three remaining exploration licences in NSW's Northern Rivers, near Lismore, was celebrated right across the state.
Anti-fracking campaigners, who have worked hard for more than three years, educating, organising and mobilising communities against the industry, are very relieved.
