Commenting on reports that CommBank has refused to accept a property with CSG wells on as security for a bridging loan, Acting Greens Leader and Mining & Resources spokesperson Senator Larissa Waters said:

“This is the smoking gun the industry has been trying to deny for years – that CSG destroys property values.
