Mary O’Kane after many months has come up with some findings that are rather alarming.
Mary is the chief state scientist and engineer and has reported to our sate planning department.
Mary has said of the Coal Seam Gas industry;
`’It is inevitable that the CSG industry will have unintended consequences including the results of human error and natural disasters.”
This means that inevitably something will happen that could cause concern within this industry that is unpredictable.
Concerns about the contaminated water from deep down in the bowels of the earth mixing with and contaminating water aquifiers could become a reality if we take the chief scientist’s view.
A more serious concern is that it will be a politician of our state’s planning department who is going to have the last say on what is safe and what is not safe.
A more serious thought is that NSW is strapped for cash and decisions will be made on financial grounds and not on decisions of common sense and safety.
