A LNG tank just 7km from Darwin, has been leaking methane for nearly 20 years. Regulators knew, but kept the public in the dark.
The faulty tank poses unacceptable risks to the environment, climate & the health of the community. This is an absolute outrage.
Santos must fix this leak immediately.

'Huge' leak from gas plant kept secret from public in 'national scandal'
Documents reveal the scale of carbon pollution leaking from a Darwin LNG tank was like adding 8,300 new cars to the road every year. It is about to be filled again.
