NO coal seam gas and No mining.. This rape and pillage of our country has got to stop.. The people doing it can not be trusted any more than the politicians giving permission to do the right thing

 @8HBV7GKanswered…3yrs3Y

As long as the projects are far away from residential areas and environmental restrictions

Australia should be working to transition away from non-renewables. however not at the cost to the economy, this is why Australia needs to be working closer with larger states to achieve this in a realistic way. Stop telling Australian that renewables are 10 years away. I work with renewable energy, misinformation around it is the problem. not the technology.

 @9D2XN4QLaboranswered…8mos8MO

Yes. If we ban coal projects thousands of jobs will be lost and the economy will collapse. Resulting in mass homelessness and unemployment.

 @93WL2N5answered…2yrs2Y

i belive that they shouldnt ban these projects because we need coal for things to opperate, however austraia could reduce the coal mines due to the fact that they are ruining the local enviroment and we onyl have one planet.

 @93TCPTKanswered…2yrs2Y

We need the energy from these projects to build greener alternatives

 @93455FBanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes for the short term. More funding should be provided for long term renewable energy

 @933XRMFanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, to maintain jobs and economy. However there should be planned shift over the course of 10-15yrs to reduce fossil fuel mining

 @92ZH2D8Pirateanswered…2yrs2Y

As long as it’s not affecting water ways, underground water or farming

 @92ZFX5Hanswered…2yrs2Y

yes, but there should be very few of them and we should be looking for more environmentally safe options

 @92SSLNPOne Nationanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes. And we need to make sure they are Australian owned. Destroying the coal industries will create more problems for people in there homes with unreliable energy.

 @92SDGCHanswered…2yrs2Y

 @92SB75Banswered…2yrs2Y

No, we should provide more funding for renewable energy instead, provided we are not jeopardising the latter by taking away option for limited use of GAS to do just that

 @92K2LNLanswered…2yrs2Y

No, but we should provide better infrastructure to support nuclear and renewable energy

 @92JX89Canswered…2yrs2Y

no because it could be bad to brethe in and for the trees and plants.

 @922ZVDRIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, But we should provide no benefits or tax-cuts and let the free market do it's job.

 @96DQJ6Canswered…1yr1Y

yes until they find a more healthier way that works just as effeicently

 @969K929answered…1yr1Y

I'll say yes because I personally know someone working in that industry, and when the actual restorative procedure is followed then the results are most of the time a better situation then what it was before but it's when these restorative procedure's are not followed is when I have an issue with it.

 @8ZC8LCVGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

despite coal being an essential aspect of generating income for the Australian economy, we should start funding for my renewable energy instead in order to prevent further damage to the environment and thus help put a stop to climate change

 @8TXZS2Wanswered…3yrs3Y

These projects can still go ahead but as long as they are far away from residential areas. Although they shouldn't continue trying to make these projects any bigger, they should focus on producing more renewable resources.

 @8TQ7ZBDLaboranswered…3yrs3Y

CSG should only be allowed if the projects are nationalised and profits go to the government

 @8TGVG8KLiberalanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes with no risk to public health and environmental factors. And only as a temporary option while we explore renewable alternatives

 @8TDNV8Tanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but with oversight and aimed at the very short term and minimal finding

 @8TB8L92Liberalanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, with the condition that government are part owners or tax the companies engaged in CSG.

 @99GT84Banswered…1yr1Y

We should not endeavour to expand the industry further (i.e. opening new mines) however entirely shutting down pre-existing mines would be detrimental to the economy. We should strive to move away from CSG and fund renewables, but this must be done over a period of time in order to preserve our economy and safeguard jobs.

 @99GHHZGanswered…1yr1Y

A greater amount of government spending should be directed to renewable energy sources/industry, and any allowance for CSG should address certain needs particularly, the cost of living and sustaining of Australia's trade. These CSG should additionally be developed with the capacity to venture into renwables.

 @98HHPTWanswered…1yr1Y

 @987BL56answered…1yr1Y

Yes but any individual dispute should favour a food producing land owner over a prospector

 @96FYN3Ranswered…1yr1Y

Yes, for a short amount of time. We must decide quickly on a safer alternative.
