Tara - home of the "Blockys' & "Prickle farmers" , The signs on the Warrego Highway should say "dont grow drugs on premium gas land'......cause thats all Tara is good for.

[LockTheGate]

Tara is home to 2000 people, the vast majority of whom don't grow drugs. The pricks seem to live elsewhere judging by your comments. How about a sign on the Warrego highway providing directions to your house. We can start drilling for gas next door whenever you like.

@LockTheGate Bring the rig in next to my place anytime you like, at least I would'nt have to travel too far to go to work.

[LockTheGate]

Either you have a death wish or you're congenitally stupid. Most likely both by the sounds of it!

Your gate will be locked soon.

Bet you lot wouldnt be complaining if ya had a job at QGC...Try looking at the positives the good things that QGC brings to community...Most of the land that they are using for the gaswells arnt exactlly prime farming land most of it you would be flat feeding a goanna on so its no real loss

[LockTheGate]

It's no real loss it it? How about the people who live there. Would you like to live there with your wife and kids. You don't mind unless it happens in your back yard, then you'd be spitting chips wouldn't you Bj. What you don't realise is you're going to get screwed by CSG too! It's just going to take a little longer. Enjoy all those positives while they last!

@bj1991qld well i prefer to keep the farming lands there, if they don't work out in the future then the gas wouldnt have gone any where. and some of the rig are going into farming basins and i dont feel like having that in the food we eat.

It's bloody disgusting. The war we have to have is here in our own nation.

Coal seam mining has a very dark history. Halliburton really started all this technology decades ago in the US. The Vice President, Dick Cheney pushed to get an environmental waiver from the clean water act for coal seam mining. strangely enough he used to be the halliburton CEO. Its not just about unsafe procedures, up to and including fracking, but also tests the true intent of the land rights issues. So much for clean energy alternatives and the so called concern for "future generations".
