Alan Jones - The Bentley mine blockade | 2GB

Quote - Alan Jones: “But can you believe that taxpayers’ money, up to

fourteen million dollars, would be spent, being sent to little Bentley,

eight hundred strong and a *riot* squad – and a riot squad – presumably

with the intention of arresting these people?

What kind of world are we in? As I said, mining by martial law,

defending an outfit, Metgasco, who are in breach on a million fronts of

their approval processes. They, they’ve been *found* guilty of shoddy

practice, torn liners in drilling waste ponds, operating holding ponds

without a current development consent, failure to comply with government

directives to provide details of water management practices, dumping

coal seam gas wastewater into the local sewage treatment works without

proper approval. How can you justify, Reverend Nightingale, spending

fourteen million dollars so that this mob can have their way?”

Reverend Nightingale: “Well it’s a ‘no brainer’ isn’t it, Alan.”

Alan Jones: “It *is*. Their operations, Metgasco’s, are currently under
investigation by the Mines Safety Unit and listen to this: following a
*dangerous* incident where *two hundred* metres of steel drill pipe was
forcibly ejected into the air during the decommissioning of one of their
wells.”

Reverend Nightingale: “That’s right. And six men had to run for their lives.”

DEMOCRACY HAS ERUPTED AT BENTLEY NSW.
