Minister Garrett - Moratorium on Coal-Seam Gas

Minister Garrett - Moratorium on Coal-Seam Gas

Please write to Minister Garrett and ask him to put a moratorium on the exploration and mining of coal seam gas on the Darling Downs.

This is some of our most valuable arable land, but as it stands there are no investigations into how the exploration and mining of coal seam gas will impact the farmland and groundwater of the Darling downs region.

 

It is vital that these impacts be assessed before further exploration and mining occurs.

Tips on writing to the Minister:
Personalise your email as much as possible. Start by stating that you're a local resident of your electorate, and explain why this issue: is important to you; affects your family and daily life; is particularly relevant to your local area.
Your MPs take personalised emails from their electors much more seriously than pro-forma emails. While we are happy to provide a suggested letter, we strongly encourage you to add why you personally care about this issue.
