This is an edited and (slightly) expanded version of a speech given by a nationalist at a meeting held on February 19 to assist the organization of protest at Coal Seam Gas mining on the Darling Downs. Australia First Party supports all community and farmers’ groups which resist coal seam gas mining.
Australia’s coal seam gas (CSG) question is not in isolation to other patters of mining and other land investment. Quite the contrary – although it is a special case. I am concerned about mining generally and its impact on our Aussie farmlands and the faked up water-restriction policies of the big parties that will destroy Aussie agriculture. But it seems to me that CSG brings all these things into sharper focus.
This meeting is concerned with general resistance to CSG. I would place some things within a larger political-economy picture in order that activists and their friends who are fighting CSG mining can make determinations as to the enemy in this struggle, where the blow should fall and so on.
