Just a thought:
I noted you used the word “boiling” re condamine river. It may be best to use the term “bubbling” in future (more accurate), to ensure they can’t accuse us of misinformation.

That should slow the gas mining scum down a bit

Thank you all for all that you do.

Dear Sir/Madam
I was appalled to read that the Aborginal Land Council has applied for a CSG licence in the Tweed/Byron Shires.

Whilst I understand and appreciate the need for the ALC to actively participate in progressing and steering your community into the future, I cannot for the life of me understand how you reconcile this particular industry with my understanding of the basis of Aboriginal lore – that is, a deep love and nurturing of the very land itself.

Can you please explain to me how care-taking of the land can be reconciled with an industry that poisons and destroys the very land you purport to love and nourish?

It is an outrageous insult to the Tweed community that this application should be advertised only 3 weeks after 4000 people – lead by Indigenous Community Leaders – marched through the streets of Murwillumbah to protest this disgusting, destructive and unnecessary rape of our land. Elders and other Aboriginal community members from various Northern Rivers communities have publicly stated their opposition to CSG operations in general and in our region absolutely on more than one occasion.

Are you not listening? not even to your “own” people? Have you not visited this stunningly beautiful region and seen for yourselves what you are risking? The science of CSG extraction is woefully incomplete and whilst the grab for licences continues unabated there is no incentive for extraction companies to do the research properly – currently they are bombarding our tvs with pr advertisements which are basically lies and deception, whilst showing vision of a “dummy” site that is not operational to try and fool the public into thinking the CSG industry is not dangerous and destructive whilst all indications are that it is both.

I urge you to take a look at what is happening in SE Queensland, take a look at the poisoning and destruction in the Piliga State Forest and shelve this horrendous grab for cash in this stunning World Heritage Listed region – for the sake of the future for goodness sake stop thinking of the money!

Do you understand the price of gas and coal are freely traded commodities, which means it’s a supply and demand scenario. So if solar really is going to be more economic gas would be worth nothing and it wouldn’t be feasible to extract.
