 The Namoi Water Study, if it was not so serious it would be indeed a great Comedy.

In reports to the NSW Department of Trade and Investment (DTII or the old DII or the older DPI) made on the 16th. January 2012 and the 22nd. January 2012, were locations of more “black tar-like stains” associated with what looks like spilt a petroleum product as the soil around these stains has an oily appearance. these [...]

Located, thanks to comments on the radio by Santos, more lies and deception from the Coal Seam Gas Industry.

The Water Analysis of the Coal Seam Water as printed on page 17  in the Eastern Star Gas REF of December 2006, and supposedly read and checked by NSW Government Officials for incorrect truths, has a big floor [...]

On Friday the 30-12-11 adjacent to the Bibblewindi Coal Seam Water Treatment and Coal Seam Gas Gathering Complex in the Pilliga East State Forest, Dead and Dying Trees along with large areas of totally dead grass were observed, filmed and photographed.

Where do I start? This one is hard but I guess that events in the latter part of 2011 around August is as good a place as any.

DARACON is working in two areas at present within the PEL238. These being; Bohena [...]

On the latest of my tours of Eastern Star Gas’ well sites in the Pilliga East and Bibblewindi State Forest’s to the South of Narrabri, I happened upon a crew of 2 contractors who were top dressing Bibblewindi 25 well pad.

I say top dressing because that is all they were doing. taking the stockpiled natural top [...]

When is the NSW Government going to wake-up to itself and block the sale of Eastern Star Gas until such time as this Company fully and unreservedly repaired all the Environmental damage that they have caused over the past 11 years?

That will never happen unfortunately because all levels of Governments knowwhat Eastern Star Gas was doing [...]

Eastern Star Gas announced on Monday 18th. July 2011, that it was selling out to Santos. Santos is a very foolish and badly informed Company if it thinks they got a bargain.
