25.01.2022 The Whitehaven coal mine is draining precious water sources leaving nothing for farming, so we had the lawyers send them a cease and desist letter about their illegal operations.
25.01.2022 Says it all really!
24.01.2022 Coal gets a fleeting mention, in this haunting song. Plastics too, and they are a byproduct of yet another fossil fuel industry, that really does so much planetary damage.
22.01.2022 This is a disturbing map published by the corporate coal miner South 32. It shows methane gas release zones in the Nepean River near Douglas Park NSW activated as a result of subsidence from Longwall Mine Panels (901 and 902) of the BSO project. The Nepean River impact is approximately a kilometre away from the mining operation! Even more disturbing the impacts, are correlated with a gas release in the Cataract River, which is approximately 1.6kms away. This may be a re-activation of a gas release zone as a result of longwall mines beneath as long ago as the 1990s. These are far-field effects, in terms of distance, but also likely to be long term and cumulative. https://www.south32.net//lw902_eop_summary_report_final.pd
21.01.2022 This proposal to fill coal holes with water and then use it as a drought busting solution is simplistic. In the NSW coalfields the water associated with coal mining is acidic, salty and charged with toxins like arsenic and lead. The company suggesting this is seeking taxpayer funding for the feasibility studies. Why do they ignore the fact that mining companies have legal and moral responsibilities to plan, fund and remediate? So why not ask them? What kind of twisted logic is inherent in this? Miners can do what they like, and then taxpayers can pay to fix it! Dont think so! https://www.smh.com.au//multiple-sydney-harbours-plan-to-d
20.01.2022 This operator is capable of a global scale of water theft and deforestation, even beyond their enabling of climate impacts through the continued burning of coal.
20.01.2022 What needs to happen for our state government to say no to any further longwall mining within drinking water catchments of Greater Sydney, Wollongong and the Macarthur!
19.01.2022 The CEO of Santos states The department (of Planning and Environment) ...theyre working hard to progress their project and they hope for an approval by March 2020 from the Independant Planning Commission. This is despite the 23,000 objections and the threat this CSG gas project presents to land productivity and the groundwater resource of the Great Artesian Basin. Just what our water scarce continent doesnt need! https://www.theaustralian.com.au/subscribe/news/1/
19.01.2022 Longwall mining in drinking water catchments: an Opinion piece in the Sutherland Leader 18/12/19.
18.01.2022 The role of the Murdoch press in consolidating the power of coal over our government is particularly disturbing, as is the coal history of our current Environment Minister Melissa Price....but why stop there?
17.01.2022 This is a truly disgraceful government sellout yet again of Sydneys drinking water security, so as to enable coal mining interests. Thank you to Catherine from the Sutherland Shire Environment Centre and Peter from the National Parks Association, for your efforts. Lets not give up. Longwall mining should be banned in drinking water catchments.
16.01.2022 The Independent Planning Commission recently knocked back the Star Casino at Pyrmont and the Bylong Coal Project. Regarding the coal project it cited, amongst other things, the unacceptability of its future carbon emissions. Now comes this attempt to neuter it. This is fine example of just how captured our political system is by corporate gambling, coal and gas interests. https://www.theage.com.au//what-happens-when-an-independen
15.01.2022 Mining under drinking water catchments and directly under damsis madness. Does Woronora Dam have to fail before any public official notices?
15.01.2022 Welcome to Australia: The coal republic! https://www.michaelwest.com.au/revolving-doors/
15.01.2022 This is just plain wrong!
15.01.2022 Sounds like political doublespeak........protecting water supply whilst allowing coal mining beneath is a contradiction. You cant have both simultaneously.
11.01.2022 This is madness
11.01.2022 Mark Doyle is travelling down eastern Australia to the Climate Emergency Summit. Along the way hes documenting the outrageous exploitation of our land and wat...er for the short term profit of the mining sector.... including the longwall coal mining that is occurring in the water catchment for Greater Sydney and Wollongong. Sydney is the only city in the world that permits longwall mining in a publicly owned water catchment. The recent rain is no insurance against ongoing degradation of the catchment by destructive longwall coal mining. Please like and share.

10.01.2022 Yes, sleep Australia, sleep in our coal and firestorm induced furnace
10.01.2022 Maules Ck mine impacts on water and food security.
09.01.2022 Such a spirited protest with an emphasis on the need to transition away from fossil fuels like coal, to provide for a sustainable future with jobs creation in renewable energy.
07.01.2022 Speak out against this foul CSG proposal currently before the IPC.
07.01.2022 The interchange of people between political leadership and the fossil fuel industry is really so deflating.
06.01.2022 It is a true irony, that a public campaign, inquiry and a political act saved this beautiful watery place, in 2010, yet the government now will not save the drinking water catchments and dams surrounding it, from the dire and known damage that longwall mining does. Woronora, Cataract, Cordeaux Avon Dams and the Nepean Dams must be protected from mining!
06.01.2022 The movement against new coal mining is supported by rational and informed sections of the Christian community.
04.01.2022 Tragically John Prine has succumbed to Coronavirus. How appropriate it is to remember his song about the Green River and Paradise in Kentucky: Mr Peabodys Coal Train has Hauled it away These haunting words and the melody resonate for us too, now for the Woronora catchment. Thank you John! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEy6EuZp9IY
04.01.2022 Seriously, time for some satire!
04.01.2022 It is not just about the drought! Australia has always had them. Agricultural and Springwater over extraction, along with coal mining and coal seam gas activity, are cumulatively diminishing our stream flows and groundwater resources.
03.01.2022 CSG is not the go-to alternative for coal, only clean energy sources are.
03.01.2022 Theres only one Namoi River! Take action now: https://www.lockthegate.org.au/vickery_ipc_hearing
02.01.2022 Just when you would think Peabody should slink away in shame as a result of the horrible damage they have done to the catchment of Woronora Dam, what do they do? Put in another mining lease application, which inevitably will lead to mining project applications, and which in turn inevitably will lead to government approvals. That is what happens when governments are captured. Watch this space for more news. https://www.smh.com.au//perverse-peabody-lodges-new-coal-m
01.01.2022 Lets speak up for the water of the Great Artesian Basin and the threatened people and koalas of the Pilliga. CSG dries out the landscape and poisons aquifers.
01.01.2022 Yesterday the Sydney Morning Herald reported the approval of 3 new longwall coal mines under Woronora Dam, which is part of the drinking water supply of Sydney. Today (31/3/20) letter respondents described this as the trumping of coal mining over water security, despite the documented evidence of the damage such mining does. The deceit in doing this under the cover of the current Corona health crisis was raised. Note that Water NSW reports indicate that dams with mining under and around them (the Cataract and Woronora) are not holding water as well as those without mining beneath (the Warragamba and Nepean).
01.01.2022 This is disgraceful, the plume of milky grey coal waste is an unacceptable impact. A referral of this to the EPA is required, and we will do this 28/2/20.
