Bureaucracy Gone Mad

According to the Courier Mail (no link) the Environmental Impact Statement provided by Santos LNG for its proposed Gladstone coal seam gas to LNG plant is 13,500 pages long and weighs 65kg.

While the third party harm principle allows for some level of environmental protection (insofar as environmental harm can directly effect third parties) those risks could not possibly take 13,500 pages to evaluate?

Just another case of the wealth taking sector of the economy placing roadblocks in the way of the wealth generating sector to appease the welfare recieving, hemp wearing sector.
