A psychiatrist has told a State Government inquiry into coal seam gas he expects an increase in mental disorders as a result of the expansion of the industry.
The second round of public hearings into the CSG industry was held yesterday at Taree, with numerous concerns raised about the potential impact drilling could have on mid north coast water supplies.
Some groups compared the depth of community feeling on the industry to the anti Vietnam war marches of the 1970s.
Doctor Steve Robinson recently retired after working for 10 years in Gloucester, where AGL was this year granted approval to drill over 100 coal seam gas wells.
