24.01.2022 Santos are leaving any final investment decision in the Narrabri production field until after a further 12-18 months of appraisal.

21.01.2022 The only way to assess these proposals is with full cost environmental accounting. Any other method is wilfully negligent

17.01.2022 And if Im not mistaken, the Inland Rail & a new station. "Now, Santos and Comet Ridge have applied to renew the licences, including exploration licence 428, wh...ich covers Joyce’s property. In advising the ASX of the reasons for its actions, Comet Ridge cited the Narrabri approval and federal and state government interest in supplying more gas to the eastern market." See more

15.01.2022 Very good article from Dr Madeline Taylor, expert in energy and natural resources at Sydney Law School. Commercial viability just one of the many hurdles still facing Santos. Story here:

15.01.2022 https://www.smh.com.au//south-australia-s-disappearing-spr The Arabana Chairperson has called for protection of their Great Artesian Basin Springs: Unfortuna...tely, our springs are disappearing. The cause of the disappearance of our springs, is water that is being taken from the Great Artesian Basin by BHP’s mine at Roxby Downs. Unless something is done by the Commonwealth, our springs will disappear It is unsustainable, destructive of nature, and destructive of our culture to allow the springs to die. Will you please enact laws that ensure our mound springs and culture are recognised, respected and protected? In Arabana People's Submission No.92 to federal Juukan Caves inquiry. BHP has a lot to answer for See more

13.01.2022 Please PLEASE everyone sign this petition to tell the government that we don't want their gas mines to destroy our Great Artesian Basin and our precious food-producing farms. Please sign, and share this link widely, as we need to tell the govt. that "There are many alternative sources of energy, but there is NO alternative for water." As the President of NSWFA said, "the damage is irreparable, there is no correcting it when they have destroyed our water - so how can they take the risk?" https://farmersforclimateaction.org.au//keep-gas-off-our-/

09.01.2022 This briefing paper explores the impacts of gas extraction on rural Australia’s natural capital, economy and social capital. It finds that increasing gas produc...tion in Australia creates obstacles to the agriculture sector’s economic viability, social cohesion, environmental stewardship and ability to meet sustainability goals.

07.01.2022 So much the Beetroot "didn't know" - can't have much of a conveyancer/lawyer if he bought land "not knowing" there was a PEL over it - another pub test fail. He... also doesn't seem to know that the landholder doesn't own the gas under the land , the Crown does ,& that's always been a huge issue. "Simon Pockley, a landholder in the nearby Warrumbungle mountain range who has campaigned against coal seam gas extraction, said he believed there was a clear conflict of interest in Joyce’s landholding. Of course there is, for a public figure who stands to gain, he told the Guardian. Pockley said there was little agricultural value from the land Joyce had purchased. It was a speculative move on his part, he certainly didn’t buy the properties for their agricultural value, he said. The conflict of interest when he was deputy prime minister was that he was publicly calling for royalties. Santos was approached for comment. It said in a statement only that the petroleum exploration licence covering Joyce’s property was not part of the Narrabri gas project’s environmental approvals. It did not answer further questions."

07.01.2022 "We consider SBI (State Bank of India) should not finance this project. It's their decision, ultimately, but we've been extremely clear on the fact that, if they decide to do it, we would immediately disinvest". - Amundi (via Galilee Blockade)

03.01.2022 A report from four and a half years ago, shows the incredible value to our economy, from the GAB "The first report looking at the economic value of the Great Artesian Basin, estimates that it contributes more than $12 billion to the Australian economy each year." How can our govt. be putting this priceless resource at risk, purely from an economic perspective - let alone that none of us could live here without our precious groundwater?? https://www.abc.net.au//2016-/gab-economic-report/7784084
