Please approve the extension of the Mount Thorley Warkworth Mine to secure my brother's family's future. Don't put the complaints of a few ahead of the families of the mine and local communities

I've been an operator at MTW for the past 9yrs. I am a 54yr old divorsed mother of 3 with a severely disabled son, who I care for at home. We moved here 10yrs ago from WA. and I worked very hard to procure a position at MTW, to which I am most grateful, so that I can give my son a better life and be closer to my other children and grandchilden.
MTW has given me that oportunity. Without my employment here, mine and my sons life would be very difficult.
I am in full support of the extention to go ahead. Mine and countless hundreds of other families depend of this extention being granted.
The impact on our Bulga neighbours has been blown right out of perspective. This extention needs to go ahead, not just for the people employed here but for the greater communitee.
This mine gives generously to the communitee in many ways. If it closes, everyone loses.

I am in support of the extension as I believe the negative impacts put forth by nearby residents and the media are unsubstantiated and have been greatly overplayed.
There is, and will remain, ample buffer between the mine and Bulga if the extension was to take place. Also the rehab work that will be done once mining has ceased, to what was majorly deforested pastural land, will be of greater benfit to the environment due to the planting of trees and shrubs.

Its my daddys job on the line as he supports my family

the wider community and buisnesses are dependant on the outcome of the decission.

I'd like to keep my job

The approval of warkworth extension is vital to my family and there future in our area and neighbour hood. To have to move away to secure work would be detrametal to family values and a lose to local econamy

i support the extension for a number of reasons, the amount of people it effects with 1300 jobs on the line. plus the millions of dollars that the mine injects into the community.

It will affect families and the community Jobs are at risk It will affect me and my family plus lots of others i know.

My Familys livelihood is dependant on this mine extension. It's tough times in the industry and without a job my career and livelihood is in jeopardy. More importantly, my daughter is in the last few years of high school and if I lose my job I would have to relocate to find work making it more difficult for her to complete and be successful in her education.
