Clean air and clean water are needed for the survival of the human race.

Please keep Australia pristine

I am concerned about the environmental impact of such a project, particularly the potential contamination of groundwater in the area.

The Narrabri Gas Project should be stopped due to catastrophic ecological, social and economic risks.
The site is located where the Great Artesian Basin recharges.
Coal Seam Gas fracking has been proven to be a high risk endeavour, frequently permanently damaging aquifers and natural resources such as agricultural land. Once the toxins are in the system, there is no way of removing them.
This risks outweigh any short-term economic gains, and the long-term economic and social costs associated with remediation are insupportable.
There is no social license to pursue this project. It must be stopped.

No environment - no US!

Lets stop this Coal Seam Gas once & for all...!

Do not drill anywhere.

I am utterly opposed to Narrabri gas project planned in our NSW Pilliga region. The decamation of this vital area in seeking to strip
Our country bare of the gas resources without regard for the value of the land, landmarks, protected animals, beauty, massive natural unspoilt water resource preserved there is astounding and bordering on criminal mismanagement of Australia's resources. The decision makers report to us, Australia's citizens. It's not up to them to make this life altering decision in back rooms without first advising all of Australia and giving each one a chance to agree or not to this planned destruction.

Coal seam gas is too risky.

The Great Artesian Basin cannot be compromised by gas extraction. Too many people across the country depend upon it for water. Although it may take many years for the practices of gas extraction to effect it, the Basin and all those who depend on it will suffer. Water is the most precious substance. Not gas. There are other less harmful ways of generating energy. No this is simply a money making exercise by greedy fossil fuel producers who will walk away leaving a God almighty mess behind them. This agreement lowed to proceed will be against the wishes and aspirations of Australians for a clean future.

Do any of you people really understand how valuable, fragile and important the Great Artesian Basin really is? How could you even consider risking it in this way? Coal Seam Gas is an environmental disaster!
