Australia’s governments are intent on expanding CSG operations. Narrated by Jack Thompson, this film exposes the damage already done in the CSG fields in Australia, in such places as Tara and the Condamine River in Queensland. It catalogues the danger to so much of Australia’s rural society and iconic landscapes, threatening both agriculture and tourism, each of which provides far more employment than the 2% contributed by the entire mining sector. The film highlights the even more devastating consequences we can expect by showing regions in the USA, transformed by CSG extraction into toxic wastelands, beyond remediation in our lifetime. The aftermath is as dire as predicted by the opponents of CSG mining. The film gives voice to victims of CSG mining in Australia and contains a remarkable demolition by Alan Jones of the propaganda issued by advocates of CSG.
