A lot of the public attention around Coal Seam Gas exploration and exploitation focuses on the rights of landholders, principally but not exclusively farmers.
But there’s another side to the story, one which we became very aware of on our field trip to the Western Downs last week.
We stayed in Dalby, and also visited Tara, Chinchilla, and Toowoomba.
A report in a business publication designed for investors, MarketWatch, today highlighted the impact of mining, the refining of liquified petroleum gas and the export facilities at Port Curtis and Gladstone.
“The gap between the rich and the poor is only going to get worse,” says one local business owner.
The pressures aren’t quite as intense on the Downs – yet.
