In 2011, ABC TV Four Corners revealed that significant concerns were being expressed about depletion and chemical damage to the Basin as a result of coal seam gas extraction. In one incident, reported in the program, the Queensland Gas Company (QGC) fracked its Myrtle 3 well connecting the Springbok aquifer to the coal seam below (the Walloon Coal Measures) in 2009. A local farmer was concerned that the process may have released 130 litres (29 imp gal; 34 US gal) of a potentially toxic chemical into the Basin. QGC admitted the incident, but "did not alert authorities or nearby water users about the problem until thirteen months after the incident."[11] The safety data sheet QGC had submitted for the hydraulic fracturing chemical was derived from the United States, incomplete and ten years out of date.[11] Over thirty chemicals may be used in the process of hydraulic fracturing and their long-term impact on aquifers and the agriculture and people supported by them is unknown.[12]

I've noticed for myself that the more money I have coming into my household the more I spend,I think for a lot of peeps doing the mines it's been a double edge sword,move a long way from home to earn the extra dollars but wind up paying a fortune to live in shitty little house,where I live has been affected by mines in a big way,I know a young couple that both work on minimum wage and have wound up living in the local caravan park because they can't afford the rent that houses are bringing I thought that peeps that lived in caravan parks were the unemployed but not any more ,those living near the coal mine have to put up with noise and toxic dust landing on their houses and therefore winding up in their drinking water and of course the mines are nearly always on prime agricultural land that will be destroyed for a short term gain for just a few..It wasn't that long ago Paul Keating was talking about the need for us to become the clever country but the new budget has trashed the CSRIO funding + renewable's and steered us further on the path off reliance on the mining industry,what will happen when the mining runs out,how do we explain to the next generation that we went on a frenzy and dug and drilled every resource we could find as quick as we could find it and left nothing for the future generations to come? another 50 years and there's nothing left the way were going! Seem's to me that were sailing on the ship of fools..Rf
CSG.......Coal Seam Gas..?
..Basically using high pressured water to blast thru rock into pockets of Natural Gas.
