Fracking is coming in a huge way to Queensland, it looks like earthjustice.org is focused only on the fracking in the states unfortunately.


Wish we had proper legislation against this. We don't need it in Australia.

It isn't like the gas is going anywhere until we find a better and safer solution to extract the gas too. As it has been shown, this stuff gets more exensive the longer you wait anyway.

Anyone who cares about wolves might want to look into the following site.

http://www.earthjustice.org/our_work/campaigns/wolf-delisting.html

Wolves have been delisted as a protected species and at least 77 have been killed so far, as much as 80% could be killed off in some areas before they reach the minimum threshold they set which is way too low.

Wolf 253, better known as Hoppy, was one of the better known in the nation and he was one of the first to fall. Info on that on the above page.

The depth of the rollbacks are quite amazing. Here are just some more articles about them (from a quick google search):

I hadn't even noticed that qm had downvoted it. I was just trying to find a clip that would interest people in looking into the other rollbacks. Funny isn't it? I see being environmental-minded, being good stewards of the earth, and sustainability as true conservatism. Would we rather live with the planet for a long as possible or continue being like locusts? It isn't a hard choice if you actually plan long-term and open your eyes.
