I am deeply concerned about the inquiry for hydraulicfracturing in the
Northern Territory. Many reports of serious and long term damage to
the environment, water supply and heath are coming from all over the
world and millions of people in many countries are learning about the
dangers of this industry. This is fact and legal battles have been won
in court as a result to health and environment. The struggle in
Australia is strong and informed and legal action could result from
damage to persons and livelihoods as land that is part of the food
bowl, tourism and farming is destroyed. Please enforce a moratorium
until all case histories have been explored from scientific evidence
here and worldwide. There are many, and more cases everyday. I am not
against industry but we must preserve our environment for my and others
grandchildren and short term monetary gains are not the most important
issue.
Thank you for letting me submit my deep concerns.
Yours sincerely
