Oil companies’ environmental plans to become more transparent under new rules

Save Our Coast has been the leading organisation in community protests against seismic testing in the Newcastle region over the past 14 months.

Dr Deen said there is a lot of scientific evidence of the devastating impact that seismic blasting has on the marine ecosystem. Mr Luscombe-Newman said that the rapid rise in alternative energy systems and the damaging effects in our oceans from fossil fuels means that such ocean activities must be urgently stopped.Mr Luscombe-Newman also said that there have been no studies at all conducted into the environmental baseline for all marine ecosystems in the PEP11 zone, which is a key concern for any development project.

“A leaked report modelling oil spills for a proposal to drill in the Great Australian Bight in South Australia has shown spills there would have national consequences, with oil contamination on beaches spreading all the way from Albany in Western Australia to Port Macquarie in New South Wales”, Senator Faruqi said.The fishing industry has also expressed strong opposition to the seismic testing plans.

So once again we see an example of disingenuous people .. such a shame .. but also so very typical in Australia these days. Jobs that the Coalition doesn't care about. If you expand a company without knowing the size of the market you can expect a slice of, you will fail when the demand disappears 'unexpectedly'.
