Getting to know Gloucester intimately as the Csg rolls on down to Gloucester!

 Today I have spent many hours gleaning documents on mining gas and everything there is to know about the mining situation in Gloucester NSW.  I have found  Gloucester Mines and there is Gloucester Resources, these appear to be owned by the Chinese and with this type of overseas investment, there is very little that can be done to stop them from completely annihilating a town through health issues.   The average age 64 is a vulnerable population age. 

This is prime agricultural land surrounding Gloucester.  There was a big timber industry once but government put pay to this as well.  Now, there is a starving strapped community,  and they are looking for a breath of fresh air and an injection of employment  into the area.  This mining is not the answer!  They don't employ local people anyway.  This is what we are seeing.  There were 140 thousand "147 Visas" allocated last year and lots of those Visa's are being used in the Australian mining industry. 

The knitting nannas were paramount in the last push to get rid of Metgasco on the Northern Rivers.  Perhaps its time to go on the road to Gloucester and educate the conservative ones in the community there.   It is no longer alright to sit and trust government will do the right thing.  If we allow this to be the case, we do this at our own peril and the peril of our grandchildren in the future. 

Brian Monk  from  Tara Queensland is very concerned as his family are serious victim's of this rogue mining industry.   He speaks often regarding how these companies swindle farmers and communities.  They work their way through the entire community from the school and the hospital system leaving no stone unturned all the time knowing they are doing this to make it look good,  to make it look on the level.

Make no mistake there is no level with this.  It has this to stop right now.  Our children's health is worth much, much more than this hell.

Csg Mining and Open Cut Mining cause health problems for all age groups.  This age group of mid sixties is vulnerable there is no denying this fact.  Small particles of dust lodge in the lung and the rest is history.  People need to understand and start doing their own research on this matter.  They have to stop sitting up like stuffed bears in front of the idiot box at night and believing the propaganda they are being fed. 

The mining companies own the media via the monopoly that exists with the Murdochs and the Fairfax media groups owning everything from Radio to Television and Print Media.    Truly this lot are not going to be telling the entire story where ever they can get away with it.  Sins of omission is what I tend to call this.  It is as good as lying to your face.  Rob Oakeshot could do more against this too, he is the sitting member for Lynne that takes in this area.  He says the new laws have come too late.   I do not think so.  I think we have a chance with this, I think we can beat down AGL Managing Director Michael Fraser.   Now to comically known as AGHELL and Michael Loser.  sounds good.
