Groundwater irrigator & farmer of potatoes, peanuts & grains. Under threat by CSG mining. Passionate about protecting water resources & future food security.
Santos said they weren’t interested in gas from the #liverpoolplains.
They said they wouldn’t go where they were not welcome.
Here is Santos today opposite our family farm progressing the Hunter Gas pipeline.
#narrabrigas unviable without expanding the project area. #auspol
BREAKING #narrabri gas project Final Investment Decision delayed EVEN further to 2025 now and labelling an insulting sounding “unsanctioned”. Plus downgraded to 150TJ/day, not 200!!!

"Coexistence" is govt & gas industry rhetoric spin for what is essentially forced occupation of our land, subsurface & groundwater, for the benefit of offshore multinationals to the detriment of Qlders, our environment & future generations.

Tax?
Out of 2020-2021 revenue of $150 billion in Australia, 24 Fossil Fuel companies paid
not $30 billion,
not $30 million,
not $30 thousand,
just $30.
Enough for 6-7 cups of coffee, evenly distributed across the 25 million Australians.
@NationalFarmers@farmer_dj@PatsKarvelas where is the discussion re #LiverpoolPlains? Do they not realise that extracting #CSG has/will deplete water resources and destroy aquifers - the very same aquifers in largest catchment area of the Murray-Darling Basin?
Here is Santos exploring for Coal Seam Gas in farmland near Gunnedah on the #liverpoolplains.
#narrabrigas project & Hunter Gas pipeline rely on Santos getting more gas out of the ground.
Santos has ignored community opposition & belligerently pushes ahead.

Blockades - farmers against #Santos drilling to extract #CSG on #LiverpoolPlains - one of the two blockades - to save our water and prime agricultural land. @TonyHWindsor
Options running out for narrabri gas project. Less buddies in govt now so harder to get the perks!
Now for renewables to power Narrabri industrial estate.

Santos are sending threatening letters to landholders in an escalation of contact with those affected by the proposed Hunter Gas pipeline.
Voice mails left are extremely deceptive.
Farmers continue to reject Santos yet the badgering is ongoing.

Just another day on #LiverpoolPlains. Despite dry conditions this paddock of #canola looks pretty damn good. Bugger off #Santos - feeding people is more important than subsidising your company. #agriculture#oils
.@DavidPocock puts it simply: “Environmental laws [in Australia] are broken … there’s no civilisation without agriculture,” he says. “Why would we risk our food bowls for short-term profit?” https://t.co/7ZlVMt4j0y
Farmers are calling for urgent action, claiming their paddocks are collapsing and they're blaming coal seam gas https://t.co/g0w1IOWxYa @matt_johnston_7 #7NEWS
