  "summary": "The New South Wales government's only meeting before reopening gas exploration was held with the peak body representing the oil and gas industry, according to documents released under freedom of information laws. This meeting took place just before the government announced in April that it would open applications for gas exploration in two areas of the state for the first time in over a decade. The peak body for the oil and gas industry is the only stakeholder that the NSW government met with in this context, as suggested by the documents.",
