Environmental Problems with Gorgon

The Greens have accused the WA State Goverment of negligence in protecting the environment on Barrow Island, home of the Gorgon Gas Project. They say that the government is failing to monitor the environment properly and point out the fact that environment officers meant to protect the island have not been employed yet. The government replied by saying that the selection process for six fly-in, fly-out conservation positions on Barrow Island was "now drawing to a conclusion".
