A failed Queensland energy company has been found guilty of all five charges it faced in a Brisbane District Court.
Linc Energy faced multiple charges of ‘wilfully and unlawfully causing environmental harm’ in the Darling Downs around Chinchilla, contaminating local water to the point where it is no longer fit for stock consumption.
When staff expressed concern and observed bubbling, the company continued to run their operations, injecting air into the ground and concreting over surface cracks.
