congratulations to nbn on the coverage of our no gsa protest for fullerton cove, and congratulations to Madeline for her interview with the Dart representive . Her line of questions showed clearly she had taken time to understand the issues and ask the hard questions . well done.
looks like once again a community says no to coal seam gas. in my book that also clearly indiactes that the industry is not granted any social licence to operate.
The so called community consultation Dart gave these residents was frightening. Before this forum, they delivered letters to the local tresidents, inviting for consultaion BUT, only in one on one format. No public meeting, nothing. Incredibly intimidating and manipultaive. Shame!!!
Thats shocking “No CSG”, almost divide and conquer. Community Consult? Community Insult!
No CSG anywhere! The treatment of Fullerton Cove residents appears to be the typical approach of this industry. Communities on the north coast of NSW and throughout Queensland have had to fight to get a hearing – consultation by name only.
This is completely shameful. Coal Gas Seam Mining also known as Fracking is the biggest threat to our future in terms of water that we have ever faced.
No water, no life!
