Another Coalpac update.

ANOTHER 'COALPAC' UPDATE: Daily Telegraph: 'Robyn Parker's office was told of Coalpac coal mine conflict'.

Todays Daily Telegraph is reporting that, "THE office of Environment Minister Robyn Parker - whose department opposed the Coalpac coal mine -was told by the Planning Minister Brad Hazzard's chief of staff Kath McFarlane that she owned property near the mine.

Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner, Treasurer Mike Baird and Resources Minister Chris Hartcher - who were all backing the project - were never told by Ms McFarlane that she owned four lots nearby.

Ms Parker's office declined to comment yesterday but it is understood Ms McFarlane told Ms Parker's chief of staff about the conflict.

Coalpac were never told.

Mr Hazzard has referred himself to ICAC after Daily Telegraph revelations on the issue. He has also been accused of misleading parliament by Coalpac chief executive Ian Follington who says he met Ms McFarlane and spoke to her by telephone several times and she never mentioned she owned 42ha of land near the mine site. Mr Hazzard claimed in parliament on Thursday that she had never met Coalpac."
