Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has rejected rumours spread on Facebook that she is supporting Moreton Resources’ proposed coal mine near Kingaroy.
Mrs Frecklington has repeatedly said she does not think Moreton’s proposal will eventuate, given the project’s proximity to Kingaroy and the many hurdles it faces.
She said it was also clear the local community opposes the mine, and raised her hand alongside most of the 900-strong audience at the Kingaroy Concerned Citizens Group meeting on February 9 at Kingaroy Town Hall.
The same source that is believed to be behind the rumours about Mrs Frecklington has also published a table on Facebook which suggests that mayoral candidates Cr Keith Campbell and Cr Damien Tessmann also support the mine while candidate Sheena Lindholm’s position is unknown.
However, other photographs taken at the KCCG’s town hall meeting clearly show Cr Campbell, Cr Tessmann and Ms Lindholm voting against the mine.
