In Australia , we are forced to vote for candidates
that we don't want to vote for as voting is mandatory, this is bad enough and
just shows democracy is Australia
We now allow, by law, multinational syndicates to set up CSG wells
on private land, by law, such private land owners are not allowed to say no to
these syndicates in NSW and Tasmania Australia.
The word syndicate is quite appropriate
here as one of the meaning of syndicate refers to a loose affiliation of
gangsters in charge of organized criminal activities. It's utterly criminal
that multinationals are allowed to do as they like on your own private property. It's also utterly criminal that any
government is allowed to pass such laws that are criminally intent, it's
criminal intent in that such laws take away even more of our freedom in Australia.
We might think we are safe from
such criminal intent in our cities and towns, you would be incorrect in assuming
this. For one, once our food source has been contaminated in Australia by fracking, healthy living is going
to be virtually impossible, are health fanatics going to be able to then rely
on uncontaminated food from China
Eating healthy in my mind
comes a close second to our rights and freedom, no one will be safe from what these
multinational syndicates would be able to do in Australia

Extract: The laws were passed by Tasmania's Lower House in
late June and are now
before the independent-dominated Upper House.
If approved, the changes
would result in on-the-spot fines and mandatory jail sentences for people who
disrupt workplaces, as well as increased policing powers.
Extract: NSW laws governing mining company access to private land are
"outrageously skewed against landowners", "grossly
inadequate" and "unjust", and politicians are largely unaware of
their devastating financial and emotional impact on individuals, say two former
senior judges.

Extract: The sector's growth is spurred by
the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which often-dangerous
chemicals are mixed with large quantities of water (or other base fluid) and
sand and injected into wells at extremely high pressure. Unconventional
development using advanced fracking methods poses threats to water, air, land,
and the health of communities.
