Comms Declare makes Ad Standards complaint against gas giant Santos

Climate communications agency Comms Declare and grassroots campaigner Lock The Gate Alliance have taken gas giant Santos to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Ad Standards over an ad in a newspaper near its proposed Narrabri Gas Project.

The Narrabri Gas Project – a proposed coal seam gas project across the Pilliga forest and prime farmland in Northern NSW – has been opposed by traditional owners and farmers for a number of years now. Santos is also planning a Hunter Gas Pipeline to transport gas from the proposed project to Newcastle.
