For the people living in Coonamble in NSW, fear is high on what the coal seam gas activities can do to their land. With only one source for ground water, pollution would make their land unlivable. As the community gathers through petitions, protests and concerts, they demand a proper evaluation of coal seam gas mining in northwest NSW. This weekend in Pilliga, protests were held against Santo’s activities.
