This is a heart felt letter from a friend of mine who lives outside Dalby on the Darling Downs now known mostly as the Surat Basin. The situation there is absolutely hardcore to live there. Here is
Di Cumners letter.
I Am Sorry
To all the people who have fought for my homelands I am sorry. Not many
of you are born and bred locals, I am. Four generations of my family
have called the Western Downs home. You came here to make a home, and
we all let you down. Your homes and your dreams, your health and your
futures have been sacrificed by people I called neighbours all in the
name of the mighty dollar. Greed came
and took over peoples eyesight and hearts. They sat on their hands
instead of standing and fighting with you. I also did not do enough, and
for this I am so very very sorry. Please don't try to make me feel
better by telling me I did act, or I did what I could because I did not.
I did not do enough. I foolishly thought that I had.............
I have been active in the Anti CSG protest since the day I first heard
about the plight of the people in Tara. I cant remember who or how I
found out but it scared me into action right away. I could not
understand how a government could allow this to happen, and why everyone
was not screaming from the rooftops!
I now know why.
