The Federal Government is unnecessarily delaying the release of a report into last year’s Montara oil spill off Australia’s north coast, the Northern Territory Opposition says.
On a related note, it would be great if preliminary findings from the DOI/DHS Macondo investigation could be released as soon as possible. There is much work to be done and all interested parties (in the US and elsewhere) need the best available information so that they can assess their programs. Better to err on the side of releasing findings to soon with any necessary caveats and disclaimers. In that regard, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce has done a good job of making their findings available without delay.
