Bentley Protest Success

Metgasco, the company behind a controversial plan to drill for gas near Lismore, has had its exploration licence suspended and a complaint lodged with the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac).

Anthony Roberts, NSW minister for resources and energy, said the exploration licence was suspended because Metgasco had not had a “genuine and effective consultation” with the local community.

Well, I guess several thousand protesters keeping on for months in a rural area should tell you that the community don't want you. It's great to see peaceful protest triumphing.
