Fractured Country - An Unconventional Invasion

Jack Thompson narrates a web film by LockTheGate about the insanity of coal seam gas mining in sensitive areas such as farmland and water catchments, and the personal devastation it has on landowners.

We grow crops, this is a cropping farm, and this is a cropping district. It is very rich farming area and I think it's regarded as some of the best farmland in the world. You know, it's a perfect place to live.

This community naively felt that this area is so special and so important as an agricultural resource that there's no way in the world that there'll ever be mining here. Like, it's just stupid.
