Is Murray Watt Going to Step In and Block Santos' Gas Drilling Plans?

Santos has been granted permission to drill up to 12 new gas wells in the Beetaloo basin.

The real question is whether Watt will act on these concerns.

Answer

Watt needs to step up and protect the environment by calling in Santos' drilling plans for a thorough review.
