Coal Seam Gas: why we demand a moratorium
18th of Jul, 2010
Six Degrees demands that the Queensland State Government impose immediately a moratorium on all further coal seam gas (or CSG) development until it can be unequivocally demonstrated that they will not have unacceptable social and environmental impacts. These include the risks to freshwater supplies in shallow aquifers and to the structural integrity of the Great Artesian Basin.
To support landholders and farmers directly affected by coal and coal seam gas mining, please come to the parliamentary protest on Wednesday August 4th at 12pm.
Speakers will include:
- Drew Hutton (Friends of the Earth)
- Ruth Armstrong (Basin Sustainability Alliance)
- Rob McCreath (Friends of Felton)
- Jo Bragg (Environmental Defenders Office)
- Scott Collins (Western Downs Alliance)
Morning tea provided from 11am in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens. All welcome!
