The Clarence Valley Conservation Coalition has written to the local state Member of Parliament, Chris Gulaptis, calling on him to urge the NSW Government to halt CSG and unconventional gas mining in NSW. The Grafton Loop of the Knitting Nannas Against Gas also wrote to Mr Gulaptis on this matter. Below is the text of the CVCC letter.
The Clarence
Valley Conservation Coalition (CVCC) believes that CSG mining and
unconventional gas mining pose an unacceptable risk to water supplies, farmland
and the natural environment. This has
been very strongly highlighted by the contamination of an aquifer in the
Pilliga.
We cannot
afford to risk further toxic spills and contamination of water supplies
anywhere in NSW.
The CVCC is
concerned that the National Party MPs in our area are not effectively
representing their constituents in protecting farmland, water and the natural
environment from an invasive and polluting industry.
We call on
you to urge your Government to put an immediate stop to all coal seam gas and
unconventional gas mining in NSW.
