NSW budget - Tues 23 June, page-24

"Many prominent commercial beef producers and stud operators said they don't have enough information to make a decision and, given the controversial nature of the issue, they are reluctant to comment publicly."

It again raises the question, how far do CSG companies need to consult the community - in a 2km radius of the well, 5km, 10km, 100 km, the whole State, all of Australia? If these guys are 100 kms away, really, whats it to do with them, its not a nuclear reactor (and we've got one in Sydney). Within 10 kms of my house we have an oil refinery, Australia's busiest airport, Australia's busiest port, various chemical factories, a cigarette factory, cardboard manufacturer and lots of food manufacturers; if there were a 100 gas wells you would not even know they were there!
