Narrabri is sick of CSG protestors
Feb 8^th, 2016 at 4:32pm

Quote:

NARRABRI is sick of out of town coal seam gas protestors speaking on behalf of their community, according to the local chamber of commerce.

Chamber president Russell Stewart said the vast majority of Narrabri shire was pro santos, and they're sick to death of fly in fly out protestors purporting to represent local interests.

We are sick and tired of people travelling in,annoying us, getting on the television and telling the world what we think.

We don't have a problem with coal seam gas, we have a problem with out of towners coming here and revving things up.

Mr Stewarts comments follow the arrest of several out of town protestors at Santos Leewood facility in the Pillaga forest in the past year.

Not one of the people arrested has been from Narrabri shire

Sounds like the country people don't like the inner city soy latte sipping greenies.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Sounds like many of the people of Narrabri have sold out & been bought by Santos.

You can't eat gas, oil or coal .... they live in a premium agricultural area...

they'll be bleating like 300,000 merinos when their water or land is contaminated from the CSG industry.

Freedom to protest..... makes no difference if they live there or not.. the issues is the issue, not the locality...

We're not bombing IS in Broken Hill, are we?

No wonder they call up there The Deep North..... Redneck Central....

I say let the sink holes devour their homes and their water table be polluted... then they'll cry about Santos.

Except they don't do that. Groundwater is very well protected. It is not as if this all happens without regulation, oversight and the expertise of actual experts.

Are you aware that a CSG bore is 6 inches in diameter? Not really a sink hole, is it? And it is capped the entire time.

Sink holes DEVELOP, often due to incomplete filling underneath - even you could not possibly confuse a bore with a sink hole......

Here begineth the lesson... you getting of wisdom is proceeding, Grasshopper..

Good link here....

"Contamination risk

According to the NSW Environment Protection Authority, the groundwater aquifer downstream of the leak contained 20 times the acceptable level of uranium for drinking water. This is concerning given the long timescales and effort involved in groundwater clean-up, and the fact that the region affected is an area of recharge for the Great Artesian Basin.

The type of water that resulted in contamination in this case (called “produced” or “co-produced” water) is generated in large quantities by all CSG wells, and it is usually of poor quality, containing potentially harmful levels of salt, radionuclides, metals and other contaminants. It appears that in this case such water was inappropriately stored in a leaky dam, allowing it to infiltrate and migrate into the underlying aquifer.

A 2011 study in the Queensland Murray-Darling basin projected that the amounts of additional salt brought to the surface by CSG wastewater were of similar quantity to all combined salts added from conventional groundwater irrigation and natural sources. If all this salt was allowed into waterways, it would effectively double the amount of salt entering the landscape.

Managing produced water and the salts and contaminants dissolved in it is therefore major issue for the CSG industry. It can be treated and reused for irrigation or industry, re-injected underground, or released into waterways following treatment. Treating CSG wastewater usually involves reverse osmosis, which produces “clean” water, but also concentrates contaminants in brine, which requires safe disposal. Some contaminants (such as boron) are hard to remove and are retained in the treated product water. In some cases methane can also remain in water after it leaves the treatment plant, adding to concerns over fugitive emissions."

Typical of most of your ill (or non)-informed right-wing partisan bullsh1t and propaganda.

You are either extremely stupid and/or dis-informed, or are deliberately propagating lies.

Evidence continues to roll in proving that the reality is the complete opposite of your claim.

Ground-waters are being poisoned, and gas is escaping into the air. Animals are carking
and people are becoming ill This is not just one isolated occurrence either, there are MANY
documented and proven cases around the world, and more are coming to light on an almost
daily basis.

I have to wonder - like many (no, not all - and the exceptions know who they are) rightists
on this forum, do you actually believe the crap you post (in which case you're a fool), are you
some kind of paid shill who merely parrots what's in the pre-written script (in which case you'
are a greedy, amoral fool), do you simply like to disagree with others for the sake of it (not
necessarily foolish, but bloody annoying and ultimately pointless) or are you just a good, old-
fashioned, garden-variety troll?

Or all of the above?
