CSG waste released into the Condamine River near Chinchilla
The grassroots campaign against coal seam gas mining appears to have won important ground, making it onto the popular ABC program Gruen Transfer and as a dedicated feature launched on the ABC news website on November 24. Right-wing shock-jock Alan Jones has also held his own October 19 address to the National Press Club on the dangers of CSG to “food security”, calling the buying up of farm land by CSG companies “legalised theft”.
The Gruen Transfer program on November 9 had a panel of advertising industry experts commenting on current CSG advertising by Santos and the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) aimed at convincing the population that there are farmers who support the coal seam gas industry.
