  • A TRAVESTY!

    What about farmers' rights to their land?

  • Aussie farmers have been and still are the back bone of this country.Not only for the fact that if the shit hits the fan there the ones who are going to feed you but also because there bloody hard workers as tough as nails and armed to the hilt.Genetic mod food,polution,taxes,cuts,polot­ics,arogant city practices,lies,mis media,negative love,hate and injustice doesnt stop them or there families supporting this country-but something stops them from putting an end to the injustices against good wil

  • Australia needs coal mines without them this country would not survive.. The farmers need to find something else to cry about how else are they going to run their gear

  • @CheckingAllSystems BMA or BMA + ARE BUMS

  • a lot of owners only purchased rights to use their land, but not the mineral rights.

  • So what, the Australian goverment wants to destroy our agriculture so we are dependant on the rest of the world for food? Yeah thats great fucking idea that is. Whats the best way to control a population? Control the food. They do what you say or starve.

  • The Town of Ackland is a good example of mining Co greed , New Hope Coal said the mine would be good for the locals and provide employment now the mining company has bought the whole town and sold off all the buildings the town does not exist now except for 2 home owners who refuse to sell, what will they do when the power to the town is cut?

  • the farmer may own the land but they don't own the mineral rights.. it's happening in the usa to..so you might want to look into the old laws..

    it realy sucks. when you have to screw up good farmland to get dirty energy.. freaking greedy bssss tards..

  • Have you considered how this affects your rights? Do you realise how connected you are to farming?

    If these mines go ahead, your remaining right will be to starve and die, along with millions of others.

    Coal mining IS permanent damage, but nothing can compensate the loss of productive land.

  • As long as they pay for the rights it's thier right. If they destroy the land farmers have the right to get compensated.

    What would be bad is the goverment not allowing them to sue if their lands are damaged or if the goverment took their lands and gave them to the coal companies.

  • All farmers should take out mining rights on their own properties. Get in first.
