Strange bedfellows: inside the campaign for the black soil plains https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/feb/26/strange-bedfellows-inside-the-campaign-for-the-black-soil-plains?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other the fight goes on - #groundwater an out of sight resource open to abuse - how Santos make their models get around significant impacts that previous companies many other studies and experts wanting to mine in the Liverpool Plains found will be an exercise in political bastardry not science #liverpoolplains

Here is a piece I wrote for @theconversationau explaining how Santos' Hunter Gas Pipeline will affect critically endangered grasslands on the #LiverpoolPlains.

RT @markrodda: It’s obvious that @SantosLtd’ Narrabri gas project needs a #LiverpoolPlains gas field to be viable. As the #Independent for #Tamworth I am calling on the major parties to defer to the science which has already determined that there should never be #CSG in this region. #nswpol https://t.co/ph4GygBgyB

Gunnedah Basin & Liverpool Plains farmers threatened with gas exploration on critical agricultural land have blockaded roads

Farmers and communities in the Gunnedah Basin and Liverpool Plains have again had to resort to blockade roads to protect some of the State’s most productive farmlands from fossil fuel development.

This week roads near Gunnedah were blockaded by the community as gas giant Santos continued their seismic testing for coal seam gas despite commitments that these gas resources would not be developed.

Santos in lockstep with the Government is determined to exploit the land and water of NSW’s most productive agricultural area.

Another significant Central Ranges gas pipeline exposure on the #liverpoolplains alerted to me today.

Pure black soils paddocks being repaired with rock to stabilise pipeline.

Evidence is with Govt. as to the significant risk in vertosol soils.

Will they listen? @Matt_KeanMP@twitter.com

My letter in todays @The_NDL@twitter.com in response to @PaulTooleMP@twitter.com uninformed comments in regards to the Santos Hunter Gas pipeline.

The #liverpoolplains community made their views clear in regards to @SantosLtd@twitter.com advances before, protesting & denying access.

There is NO consent from us.

moved from that bird site - no going back, did enjoy those that I chose to follow for their insights, learnings and science - looking forward to building new friends to watch and listen to in what looks like a more nuanced, respectful and considered platform, interested in #LiverpoolPlains #climate #extremeweather #auspol #climatescience #farmingforthefuture #resilience
