Ryan Park (Member for Keira), and Lee Evans (Member for Heathcote), have signed the petition initiated by Stop CSG Illawarra calling on the NSW Government to put in place:
- an immediate moratorium on all CSG projects;
- a royal commission into the full impacts of CSG;
- and an immediate ban on fracking.
There is now more than enough evidence that CSG mining brings problems. Quite simply, it’s just plain common sense to show caution when it comes to water, health and the environment.
Signing the petition is consistent with the broader political consensus emerging from more structured reviews of the potential risks of CSG mining. These include the recommendations of the Senate enquiry into the Murray Darling – which calls for a thorough review and a halt to further approvals – and policy positions of the Greens and Labor supporting a moratorium.
Stop CSG! Illawarra
