About CCAG
Rated • 1 review • activism, agriculture, politics, mining, australia • ccag.org.au
I just caught the ABC current affairs program Four Corners - 'The Good Earth'..... that highlighted the struggle of Liverpool Plains farmers in the north of my state to keep out mining giants BHP Billiton and Shenhua Energy Company from resuming their generations-owned unique prime agricultural land
As a 5th generation farmer from the state's south I hold with Liverpool Plains farmer George Clift when he said:
"I'll never give in. Long as while I'm alive. If they come on, they take me out in a box."
too right George....
this is an abridged bit from the ccag website...
FTP}: "Caroona Coal Action Group (CCAG) represents a country community concerned that subsidence longwall mining will damage the underground aquifers, the life blood of the food and fibre production, on the world class Liverpool Plains, NSW.
CCAG are pressing for an immediate moratorium on any kind of resource exploration on the Liverpool Plains so that an independent, catchment-wide water study can be performed to understand the interconnections and intricacies of the aquifers beneath these prime agricultural rich soil plains.
.....
CCAG also wishes to highlight the:-
* fallacy of clean coal
* increased health risks faced by coal communities
* latest government reports on subsidence longwall mining damage - Southern coalfields report , which follows the leaked DECC report
* full impact of coal-fired power stations (not just their climate changing effect) and that one was proposed quietly for Caroona
* increase in earthquake activity produced by mining (we live on the Hunter Mooki Fault line, the same one which moved in the fatal Newcastle earthquake)
* effect of low frequency noise on mining communities
* Quiet Deceiver and other exposés of BHP's environmental record and it's F for effort as shown by RiversSOS."
