Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has accused John Barilaro of âgaslightingâ the people of the Hunter Valley after the New South Wales deputy premier claimed air quality data had been manipulated by environmental groups.
Barilaro had claimed on Tuesday that concerns about poor air quality caused by coalmining in the region were exaggerated by environmental groups who âmanipulate the data to suit their argumentâ.
This was followed up with a separate attack yesterday by Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon, who claimed in an interview with 2GB that Turnbull himself had âliedâ about air quality figures in a submission made to the NSW planning regulator opposing the expansion of the Mount Pleasant coalmine.
Environment by Erin Lyons and Finn McHugh 7th Apr 2021 11:39 AM Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has hit back after he was sensationally dumped from his role as chair of an advisory body on climate change. But the minister responsible for sacking him has made a startling admission. Speaking on breakfast television, Mr Turnbull accused NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro of wanting more coalmining in the Upper Hunter Valley, describing it as a shocking betrayal of the people . They (Mr Barilaro, One Nation s Mark Latham and the NSW government) want to keep ripping up that valley for open cut coalmines even though export demand for coal is declining, even though existing mines are operating below capacity, even though new mines and new extensions to existing mines will only put workers in current mines out of work, he said.
