National plans to create a framework for compensating fishers affected by seismic surveying have failed. What does it mean for fishers fighting big oil and gas companies?

Director of Klarite, a consulting company employed by CGG to liaise with the south-west Victorian community, Matt Smith said CGG would ensure no commercial fisher was worse off as a result of their planned survey.
