The forest was laid in a swamp and became coal. Water is still there.
Another battle is going on at New Ackland New Hope NHC.
The Queensland government has delayed these projects for more than 10 years. Same water.
It is all bulltish. if not water, then grass no jobs Qld sinks further into debt as no progress is approved.
Mt Morgan another case where Govt inaction is disgracefully allowing pollution and stopping mining.
Acid pyrites (H2SO4) is leaching into the Dee River at Mt Morgan.
Qld Gov has been sitting on solution for more than 10 years Miner has gone away. Mines dept workers still watch the pollution, do nothing, tend their home garden collect their pay.
OK? Bulltish.
There was an export market for the pyrites. Jobs, money, taxes. Now more Govt debt in Qld.
All this less than an hour's drive west of Rockhampton.
