Open Cut Coal - destroying human life and the atmosphere, the waters and the earth needed to sustain human life.
"And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." Rev 11: 18
A growing population cannot derive food or drink from land or waters degraded by Open Cut Coal Mining and Coal Seam Gas Extraction.

The Members Area contains Legal Advice for the community when dealing with Coal & Gas Exploration Companies. It has been updated in August 2009 with the latest NSW Farmers Association Advice on Negotiating Access Agreements and other important information. This Advice must be read in conjunction The Caroona Decision 2010 .
The Caroona Decision 2010 effectively invalidates the mining industry process of selectively garnering individual Access Ageements in favour of the now correctly defined Legislated Process of Collective Agreement, Arbitration and non-extinguishable Landholder Rights.
