THE COAL SEAM GAS CODE OF PRACTICE – SUBMISSION
The Coal Seam Gas Code of Practice (CSGCOP) cannot stop environmental incidents,
- nor can a CSGCOP ensure what is now clean water will remain that way.
- nor can a CSGCOP hope to restore poisoned water back to the way it
is now. I read about reverse osmosis, though, why poison what
currently exists then try to clean it when poisoned, or replace it
with an artificial, expensive and unreliable process or a "supplied
and delivered" product afterwards?
- nor can a CSGCOP ensure that tailings pond liners never overflow,
break, crack, rot or leak.
- nor can a CSGCOP ensure that no evaporation of chemicals will cause
the air to be polluted,
- or that floods or natural disasters will never cause an accident or incident.
- nor can a CSGCOP stop human error.
- nor can a CSGCOP reliably predict the short or long term
consequences of every single well.
When dealing with nature in such an unnatural way, disasters are
highly likely and have already happened, both here and overseas.
Though i am sure you are well aware of those incidents.
As thriving & vibrant communities are being destroyed, adverse health
impacts are observed and our waters, rivers and underground aquifers
are put at unnecessary risk, our food bowls are laid to waste and
complete ecosystems are being poisoned, you people fiddle about with a CSGCOP?
I find this quite mind boggling!
How is this fair representation of "for the good of the people"? The
same people you were put into an honourable position of power to
represent?
In summary, it is my view that any ripping up & poisoning of our
mother earth for dirty FINITE energy is stupid.
Rather than frameworks & licenses to enable pollution and destruction,
we need legislation to "Lock the Gate". It is time those elected to
represent the people actually got off their backsides and BANNED COAL
SEAM GAS!
Coal mines are also out of control and are destroying and trampling
once thriving rural communities.
This wonderful nation and her inhabitants have been raped and pillaged enough.
Solution:
Ban Coal Seam Gas.
No New Coal.
Transition time. Price on pollution = BUILD the manufacturing industry
the world needs for sustainable clean energy - supplied via an
INFINITE totally natural feedstock.
= local jobs, sustainable economy, best quality products, great
working conditions, scaling back on dangerous and destructive shipping out infrastructures, and a full focus on building here.

GetUp's map makes my stomach turn and knot up.. please share far and wide. Everyone needs to fully comprehend the scale of the risk to our water supplies that Coal Seam Gas poses - and there have already been cover ups of leaks...
this insanity must end.
Just sent the message below to the PM of Oz, Julia Gillard
Send one too!

Very sad to see Bob retiring. He is an inspiration to so many. A man of persistent conviction, strength, fortitude, courage and outstanding ethics. I'm sure he will continue in his pursuit to ensure a fairer, cleaner, greener nation and planet for many years to come, from outside of politics.
I hear he will be visiting Miranda in her Tassie tree sit as soon as he is able.
This would be a great time to stick to your promise and instantly protect the 430,000 hectares of high conservation value forests in Tasmania under the Intergovernmental Agreement. Sticking to promises seems so lacking in Politics. No wonder the Greens continue to grow. Would certainly be a nice bob-voyage gift.
Respectfully
i have signed a petition to Japan Councils, Incineration facilities (and others) who may have some sway in decisions made about Japan's Nuclear waste, in the hope that radioactive rubble is not burnt (and hence, x-contaminate further)..
When i posted this link to my Facebook account yesterday there were 150 or so signatures. That has grown through cross posting to some 50 thousand people by around 100. This an embarrassment.
The internet CAN be a powerful tool and a VOICE of and for the people,
if we just UNITE ... and allow ourselves a moment in time to ROAR! Please.. sign and share

NO NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP AT MUCKATY!
SIGN THE PETITION
CLICK HERE TO SIGN THE PETITION
web address of petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/no-nuclear-waste-dump-at-muckaty.htm...
SIGN HERE --> https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stop_ginas_mining_media/?abQdKcb
(Via Avaaz)
Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has just bought a major stake in Fairfax media -- in a bid that could turn The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald into mouthpieces for climate denial to protect her mining interests. But together we can foil her plan.
SIGN HERE!
Rinehart has already bought Channel Ten’s agenda -- and Australia’s ownership restrictions need urgent reform to end her latest assault on Fairfax. The media inquiry that Avaaz members helped win is just weeks away from reporting, and provides the government with the crucial chance to act. Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is supportive of stronger ownership limits -- but he needs a community outcry to get the whole government on board.
Sign the petition to Minister Conroy now to ensure a mogul-free Australian media. When the petition reaches 50,000 signatures, we’ll spectacularly deliver the massive message in Canberra.

Apparently Gina Rinehart funds "Lord" Muncktons visits to Australia...

I want you to make sure that the CEFC (Clean Energy Finance Corporation):
1. Only invests in renewable energy, not gas or fossil fuel energy
2. Ensures large-scale baseload solar thermal plants are built in Australia
3. Happens as soon as possible, and is additional to the existing 20% renewable energy target
