Stop this poisonous desecration.

This is short term gain with long term distruction.
Time for Santos to join the 21st century. This attitude is no longer acceptable.

At this point in our existance here on Earth with global warming what it is, plus the rate of extinction being devastatingly what it is, I'm amazed that plans are still going ahead to dig into the ground for more fossil fuels.
Grow with the times people. Fossil fuels are to stay in the ground now. As a species we've caused enough damage to this planet as it is. You people do not represent the VAST majority of inhabitants you share your home with, how can you care more about financial profit than the future of not just the Human race but all other species too? Stop being so short-sighted. Is it worth putting people's water source at risk?

I honestly don't know how you sleep at night. Stop lying to yourselves and clouding your reality with disillusions and listen to everyone who are trying to help you see sense.

The environment is worth way more to Australia than a prospective attempt to find goal seem gas; especially when that attempt will benefit first and foremost a multinational company. You cannot sell off Australian benefits to such companies that care not for the country or for a pristine environment but only for the corporate dollar. If we want more power then the government can surely be looking at better investment in solar power. We have an abundance of the raw material nationally and a bigger abundance of prospective farm sites; such investment will benefit Australia first without damaging unduly the environment.

Stop this long term desecration of our land for short term minimal fiscal return.
This earth will not support future generations unless we learn to stop abusing its resources.

I am deeply aposed to coal seam gas extraction in the pilliga it is important to prevent Santos from drilling 850 coal seam gas wells in the the Pilliga Forest for the following reasons:
- this area is the vital recharge point for the Great Artesian Basin - which extends under and affects the water catchment of huge tracts of NSW.
CSG mining practices contaminate aquifers - it is NO COINCIDENCE that when American communities finally achieved a major halt to CSG mining across their lands 10 years ago - suddenly the world's 'natural' gas corporations were knocking down Australia's door - and lining our politicians pockets to gain hastily passed access's to our resources. We need to stop this dangerous type of mining from continuing any further.
At the lowest - 93% of community members consulted in Northern NSW are opposed to these CSG wells being developed.

The effects of coal seam gas mining on the environment , aquifers and the communities in these areas , throughout the world have proved to be catastrophic . To even think about risking the damage to our artesian water supplies in Australia is verging on insanity . Agriculture in this country is in many cases is totally reliant on a consistent clean underground water supply , coal seam gas mining has proven time and time again to both pollute and destroy this supply . The uncertainty of destabilizing the geological structure of areas where fracturing tequniques occur has a high risk of causing a variety of
catastrophic events , earthquakes and tremors . We have no rights to treat the land we are blessed with with such irresponsible and immoral destruction . The costs to our future generations for this irreparable damage are immeasurable . Santos have already proven to be untrustworthy and their pollutant spills well documented . This must stop now

Please do NOT proceed with coal seam gas operations in the Pilliga. CSG operations have consistently been in the media for poisoning and polluting water supplies. The artesian basin through which the wells will be drilled supports a vital ecosystem. Clean water is vital for human health and survival.
The Pilliga is an amazing ecosystem. Any gas well, let alone 850 gas wells would have a huge and devastating impact on that ecosystem. Please do not let this go ahead as We need a planet on which current and future generations can live a healthy life.

I am 100% OPPOSED to CSG mining in the Pilliga region.

This project should not go ahead. Our environment is more important and needs to be protected. I object
