The Narrabri Gas Project: It is difficult to understand the support of our elected representatives for this project, contrasting the care and protection of our lives with the present pandemic with the reckless risks with our water, agricultural production, investments, livelihood and instead our lives of a high pressure leak can be accidentally ignited in a rural area.
Deeper drilling for water as suggested by our Minister for the Environment to a water supply perhaps totally unsuitable for agriculture and human consumption and also driving up costs is a risk we cannot take.
Agriculture needs cheaper water and lower costs to become a breadbasket to a hungry and competitive world.
We need our products to be cost effective. We do not need to impose starvation if more than half the world cannot afford our products.
Our representatives and the Minister for Environment have achieved many good things.
In my opinion, in this case, they are letting us and the environment down and failing to do their duty on our behalf.
