Putty Gasbag
The NSW Government approved exploration for coal seam gas 500m from the World Heritage Wollemi National Park at Putty. The Australian 'gas rush' for export needs to be reconsidered taking into account the impacts on the environment, people’s health, livelihoods and plans for the future.

CSIRO rejects mining industry claims about CSG
Gas well at Camden |
CSIRO rejects the claim made in a television commercial
aired on Sunday 2 September that ‘CSIRO [and government studies] have shown

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB), the country’s only permanent
inland water, underlies a quarter of Australia, the driest inhabited continent
on earth.
