I see even ABC 7.30 Report is hinting that Ferguson is a bit of a wally with his support for coal-to-liquids rather than compressed natural gas. The program refers to an energy security inquiry for Australia. Let's hope they make it consistent with Garnaut.
If you ignore the global warming issue, CTL is a more "secure" liquid energy source than gas.
We'll be shipping most of our gas offshore and using the rest for power or industrial use (not to mention some home heating and cooking applications) - and it will run out a lot sooner than our coal reserves.
Brown coal, on the other hand, is plentiful and no one really wants the stuff - so turning it into petrol or diesel is like making a purse from a pigs ear, for the environmentally unconscious...
