“This is the last place in the world that should be industrialised by the oil and gas fracking industry,” he said. “It has the largest, most intact tropical savanna in the world and it’s in the top 4% of the least impacted coastlines anywhere on the planet.

“There’s not many places like that left in the world.”>

They really are out to destroy the world deliberately. It's not even about the oil is it.

    Fucks sake, how can the government see the damage done in the USA by fracking and then in Queensland and still think that the industry gives half a shit with its lies about 'minimal environmental impacts'.

    They essentially pump a slurry of chemical dissolvants through the coal-shale seams underground and attempt to collect the resulting chemical-oil-slurry mixture below it..... A child can tell you that this will obviously result in lots of unwanted leakage into surrounding soil and the water-table. Its completely insane that this ever became an acceptable oil-extraction method.

    When will people stop voting for the two-party system and move power to parties that want to hold companies accountabke to the environment? Feels like the needle is moving but soooo slowly.
