KEY QUOTES AND REACTION TO THE NT GOVERNMENT'S DECISION TO ALLOW FRACKING:
* "The government has broken its promise to us that it would implement all recommendations of the Pepper inquiry before fracking starts. In communities it's clear that the government has not done a proper job of making sure Aboriginal people understand the huge impact fracking will have on our country and that our voice is heard." Johnny Wilson, traditional owner and jungai (cultural lawman) at Lightning Ridge
* "Fracking stinks and the Beetaloo project is a disaster. The Albanese government - which was elected on a platform of strong climate action - should step in to stop it. Doing nothing will put Australia's climate targets and their own promises to the community out of reach." Climate Council head of advocacy Jennifer Rayner
* "This is the beginning of a new wave of prosperity for the Northern Territory and Australia, delivering new jobs and substantial economic benefits while strengthening east coast energy security." Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association NT director David Slama
* "The Northern Territory government's decision to hit go on onshore gas production today before fully implementing the recommendations of the Pepper inquiry is a breach of faith with Territorians." Environmental Defenders Office chief executive David Morris
* "What fracking will sacrifice is simply irreplaceable and that's clean water, prime land and a sustainable economic future." Rallen Australia (owner of six NT cattle stations) director Luciana Ravazzotti
* "It is time to accept that implementation of the Pepper Inquiry has gone off the rails, and abandon plans to frack the Beetaloo." Lock the Gate national co-ordinator Carmel Flint
* "Communities in the Beetaloo Basin and across the continent oppose fracking - today's decision flies in the face of deep concerns from Traditional Owners and inquiries from the Northern Territory and federal parliaments." GetUp chief executive and Widjabul Wia-bal woman Larissa Baldwin-Roberts
