Former staff members face up to five years in prison if convicted of lapses at Queensland coal gasification site
Five former Linc Energy executives have been charged by the Queensland government with breaching environmental law over the operation of its underground coal gasification site in Chinchilla.
In September the former chief executive Peter Bond was charged with three indictable offences and last week was summonsed on two additional charges of failing to ensure the company complied with the state's Environmental Protection Act.
