    I reckon toxic is a word we've grown accustomed to. It just doesn't have the sting or grab your attention like the 'ol CANCER

    Do you reckon toxic spill is as shocking a headline as "Cancer Causing" chemicals...??? I mean that's what Cougar copped. We were bombarded with the tv news, the mainstream newspapers, radio stations etc.. They all went into a tizz with this phrase once DERM and the government officials brandied this phrase around and associated Cougar Energy with 'cancer' ...and for what...minisculey over ..and in the middle of the plant's test site- where there are no animals, humans, birds, endangered frogs drinking from...Compare that with the 'ACTUAL' environmental damage that is going on by other companies with their 'accident spills' and they have NOT BEEN SHUT DOWN!!!

    "Our tests of the Pilliga spill have revealed for the first time just how toxic this coal seam gas water is - it is a cocktail of heavy metals, such as lead and arsenic, plus salts and petrochemicals," Naomi Hogan of The Wilderness Society said in a statement.

    "The test results also raise concerns that it is not a one-off spill and that the coal seam gas water may still be leaking into the environment, given the high concentrations of semi-volatile petrochemicals recorded.

    "The NSW government should shut down the Santos operation in the Pilliga, the last great temperate woodland left in NSW, and implement an immediate moratorium on coal seam gas mining."
