Map of the areas for the Coal Seam Exploration Licence Application (PELA 133) being submitted by Macquarie Energy Pty. Ltd

An application has been lodged for a test well exploration license which encompasses all of Currawinya - Blocks: #605 & #606 on the map below. If you wish to get involved with information sharing, contact Flame: 6737-6716:

The attached info may come as a surprise. So may the fact that applications have been lodged here in Drake, as in most other places, and even in Brookfield, Kenmore, Pullenvale and Moggill in Brisbane and Sutherland in Sydney. 

We've been told at a public meeting that the gas has already been sold to China. Our governments state and federal also contract with mining companies to do the dirty work.....and for every day a well doesn't go into the ground they pay penalties back to government. According to what I have been able to read on the financials on this, the government won't be getting any royalties for 5 years so the quicker the wells go in the sooner they'll start to reap the benefits. For those who understand this, the precautionary principle has not been applied to this type of exploration.

This is at juggernaut stage now, if we as a nation of people don't stand together now we have no chance of stopping this from raping our water supplies, landscapes, native flora fauna and bird/insect life, air quality, enjoyment of life, future of our children/grandchildren. If you want to do something, the time is now.

There will be a large march in Sydney on May 1st.....farmers are really angry on this, as are wine producers, tourist havens and every other place you can imagine that's being impacted. Please let all your friends and relatives in Sydney know that this march is happening. They can take the kids as anti arrest insurance. Details will appear on the Lock the Gate Alliance Sites and should be on the news if the energy companies haven't bought them out or off already.
