While government was formed in the modern context to prevent us from being coerced unlawfully, with the rise of big government the opposite is happening.<br /><br />The loot that the state can gain from the exploitation of these resources tends to create the situation where the state is most likely to be on the side of those who would prefer to rip you off.<br /><br />One of the things that tends to disturb me is that property rights have been dropped in order to find something that actually works as far as rural production is concerned. The Traveston crossing dam issue was decided on turtles frogs and fish, despite the upheaval that went on within the community. The organisers of the opposition to the dam pointed out that they had to go this way as people were not considered as relevant to the decision.<br /><br />We really need to have this issue front and centre.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-7464697425508129522011-11-18T11:50:10.961+10:002011-11-18T11:50:10.961+10:00This facebook page is set up by a landowner to doc...This facebook page is set up by a landowner to document their expierence with a CSG operation on their land. I don't know this landowner personaly but the family is known to me. Their expierence will be more positive than others because of a better negotiation ability & the company in question is Origion which is considered along side Santos as one of the better companies to deal with. More likely the lesser of the four evils operating in this area.<br />Anyway it is interesting to go back to the begining of this facebook page & read all the postings.<br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/Food-CSG/159368284147011#!/pages/Food-CSG/159368284147011?sk=wall&filter=1Dale Stillerhttp://justgroundsonline.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-65326100014531996642011-11-18T05:34:26.430+10:002011-11-18T05:34:26.430+10:00“unlike Santos, which had been mining coal bed met...“unlike Santos, which had been mining coal bed methane for 50 years, the latest explorers were behaving irresponsibly.”<br />It’s my observation living in the Surat basin that Santos still has a lot of landowners onside on whose property they are extracting coal seam gas. Some landowners were happy enough with their relationship with a couple of Australian owned companies but that all changed when they were taken over by very large overseas corporations. These two companies are now the worst offenders and operate in a manner that could be described as intentional arrogant disregard to landowners.Dale Stillerhttp://justgroundsonline.com/noreply@blogger.com
