Labor warns Coalition not to change land access rights over CSG mining

Shadow resources spokesman Gary Gray says 'states make decisions as to how mineral wealth is allocated'

Labor resources spokesman Gary Gray has warned the Coalition not to "interrupt" the historic constitutional relationship between the commonwealth and the states by changing the land access rights between farmers and mining companies.

Energy minister Josh Frydenberg has promised to place the issue of landholder rights on the agenda for state and federal resources ministers at the Council Of Australian Governments (Coag) December meeting.
