The situation with Mining in Australia right across the land is it is too mixed up with politics. All the politicians should be feeling very much on edge as the ICAC investigation drags their mouldy carcasses to the Corruption Commission. NSW is only one state. Many are now calling for an Australia wide Commission. Abbott won't favor this though because he needs this mining to pay back the money they have promised for resources that if the people have there way will never come out of the ground in many places. Many places are already so far gone from the degradation that these company CEO's should be jailed for the mess they have left and the sickness and illness that has been caused to people.
Mining companies are also really wonderful at employing lobbyists to say what ever they want them to say and they have no problems in finding falsified medical evidence to back up their twisted web of lies. I will be looking at the issue of Solastalgia in regards to the condition that makes a person grieve the environment they knew and the environment they see with their eyes. I have always called this Cognitive Dissonance. The word that Albrect
