On 25 March 2010, in Queensland Parliament, Premier Bligh announced, "At 5pm yesterday history was made.."
(See p.1139 of the Queensland Parliament 'Record of Proceedings', for the 'First session of the 53rd Parliament' held on Thursday, 25 March 2010).
A letter dated 24 March 2010, from BG Group's Catherine Tanna to Anna Bligh, is entered as a 'Tabled paper' on p.1141. The letter reports that BG Group (chief executive Frank Chapman) and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (president Fu Chengyu) had just signed 'one of Australia's largest sales'. The letter mentions the presence of Martin Ferguson and Prince Andrew at the signing of the contract. At that time the EIS process was incomplete and basic information required by the EIS Terms of Reference (and environmental law) had not been provided to government or the public.
Jeff Seeney MP (who at the time was a member of the opposition, but is now Deputy Premier) interjected Anna Bligh's announcement, stating:
"Take credit for other people's work. You have done nothing".
The planning phase for the CSG invasion commenced under the Howard government.
