Push to unlock Queensland oil field amid fuel crisis

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is urging the Federal Government to support development of the Torom Trough oil field, located five hours west of Brisbane. The field has been known since the 1960s but has been considered commercially difficult to exploit. Coalition MPs argue that regulatory burdens and political resistance have made Australian resource extraction too expensive, leaving the country dependent on fuel imports despite having domestic reserves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
