Another fracking letter

From today's Southland Times:

Gas drilling danger

The "potentially huge" resource that lies under the Waiau basin includes both shale gas and coal seam gas.
  The latter is the same industry that has contaminated groundwater, caused ill health in communities and threatens to destroy farmers' livelihood and Australia's long term food and water security.
  In New South Wales, a moratorium is being imposed while a parliamentary inquiry involving multiple stakeholders assesses the environmental, social and economic impacts of coal-seam gas.
  Fracking is dangerous.
  Southlanders should demand full disclosure of information from the council and companies, re their exploration plans, fracking chemicals and disposal of produced water and other drilling wastes.
  And how exactly would companies make right contaminated water?
