About a decade ago, a coal seam gas company went door knocking in the New South Wales Upper Hunter.Twelve dormant gas licenses cover 55,000 square kilometres in north-west NSW, and have renewal applications pendingWhat happened next would drive a wedge through Anne Bishop's family.
"Narrabri just is really the first horse to bolt and it represents the beginnings of a re-invigoration of the gas industry in New South Wales," Dr Taylor said.The licenses cover 55,000 square kilometres of land from the Hunter, up through New England to the Queensland border.But after the New South Wales government froze new applications in 2011, they have gradually expired.
"Our problem is that if these aquifers are interfered with in any way, poisoned, contaminated in any way at all, then there is no water for the stock, that is the end of our business," he said.They want the state government to intervene and extinguish the dormant licences.
