Inquiry into LNG Terminal Plans Urged by Consumer Groups

Consumer and climate groups are urging the Auditor-General to investigate plans for a new LNG terminal. They raise concerns about the financial implications of the project.

The call for an inquiry stems from questions regarding whether the terminal is a sound investment. Activists argue that the costs may outweigh the benefits. They highlight potential environmental impacts and the need for a thorough evaluation before proceeding.

According to these groups, the financial viability of the terminal is uncertain. They emphasise the importance of transparency in decision-making around such significant investments.

As the debate continues, stakeholders are keen to understand the implications of the terminal on both consumers and the environment.
