While APPEA spends up big on an advertising campaign in an attempt to convince the public that coal seam gas (CSG) is wanted, I thought I’d share some of the stories I’ve come across of people from around the state that hold real concerns about what CSG will mean for them. These come from individual submissions to the ongoing NSW Parliamentary inquiry into the CSG industry.
You can read hundreds of the submissions online at the NSW Parliament website. Here are just a handful of people’s stories:
Leah Hobbs owns a property in the Lynchs Creek district. Metgasco’s proposed pipeline route is just 2km from her home. Leah is concerned because she says that she purchased her property to pass on to her children to run an organically certified farm. She ponders in her submission, “who is going to compensate me when I lose this when the gas line and inevitable wells are put in my place?” Read Leah’s full submission (pdf).
