What The Frack?? The campaign against coal seam gas mining

Wednesday, December 8, 2010 - 19:00 to 21:00

The New Zealand mine disaster has yet again shown the dangers associated with mining coal and gas. What about Fracking (fracturing the coal seam with immense pressure water and chemicals) to release more gas? Is it safe for the environment, communities and workers? Should it be allowed in the southern coalfields – an area fraught with potential subsidence dangers and pristine drinking water catchments?

Come along to this important meeting to discuss these questions and more, including information on deals already done between the NSW government, Wollongong City Council, Apex Energy and Peabody to allow fracking to begin in the Illawarra.
