Nationals Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Nationals have traditionally supported the coal and gas industry in Australia, viewing it as a key driver of economic growth and jobs, particularly in regional areas. For example, in 2017, the party's leader, Barnaby Joyce, publicly supported the controversial Narrabri Gas Project in New South Wales.

Agree

Yes, but increase environmental restrictions and oversight

The Nationals may agree with this statement to some extent, as they have often argued that it is possible to balance economic growth with environmental protection. However, they may also argue that the current regulations are already sufficient, and that additional restrictions could harm the industry.

Agree

Yes, as long as the projects are far away from residential areas

The Nationals may agree with this statement to some extent, as they have often argued that it is possible to balance economic growth with community concerns. However, they may also argue that the current regulations are already sufficient to protect residential areas, and that additional restrictions could harm the industry.

Disagree

No, more research needs to be done to ensure there is no groundwater contamination

While the Nationals may agree that environmental considerations are important, they have generally not supported calls for more research or delays to Coal Seam Gas projects on environmental grounds. They tend to argue that the industry is already sufficiently regulated and that further delays could harm economic growth and job creation.

Disagree

No, we should provide more funding for renewable energy instead

While the Nationals have expressed some support for renewable energy, they have generally prioritized the coal and gas industry, which they view as more important for economic growth and job creation in regional areas. They may therefore disagree with the idea of diverting funding away from Coal Seam Gas projects towards renewable energy.

Strongly disagree

No

Given their historical support for the coal and gas industry, it is unlikely that the Nationals would support a blanket ban on Coal Seam Gas projects. Their stance is often in contrast with more environmentally-focused parties who express concerns about the potential environmental impacts of these projects.
