Great stuff! I attended that meeting… I have seen Cam speak before at the Forrest meeting- thought he was great! Saw Drew last night- he was fantastic… so great that he has made it to Vic to talk to us!!!
These companies are well aware of where the resource is, they just do exploration to prove the quantity and quality of the resource to attract the investors and overseas interest. If you allow this to proceed you will find yourself trying to stare down a multi-billion dollar multi-national company. That is what faces those of us in Qld now, when we protest we face the police tactical response group even though no violence has been shown by the protest groups. Another more interesting fact is Qld is a resource state, i went to a meeting with the opposition member of parliment last week, he informed the group Qld debt is so high it attracts $450,000 plus a day in interest. Is this the economic boom any state could want, say NO to CSG and COAL, protect our water and food, the multi-nationals certainly will not. The image of Chincilla shown by Drew is a partly developed gas field, our property sit on one of the next to be developed gas fields. Our Gate is Locked and we have no gas wells, simple message, Lock your Gate, support your neighbor to Lock his Gate, then encourage the community to Lock it’s Gate. Has been working for our property for years, even before the Lock the Gate campange, sadly all around us have fallen, save your region, save your state, the government will not.
