The left wing Australian Northern Territory Labor government has shocked greens, breaking ranks with other left wing Australian state governments by lifting a ban on gas fracking.
The issue has sharply divided territorians, many of whom believe fracking threatens water supplies, but the chief minister, Michael Gunner, said on Tuesday the industry would create jobs.
I am at a loss as to why the media continually say this. "sharply divided"
Their is only one group of people who are sharply divided! And it is not "most" Territorians!
It is the extreme that has separated from mainstream. To the point where sadly even some of the extreme may feel that immolation is a way of getting their message across.
