NT pastoralists show down with mining companies; Landline
Boiling Point on Landline on 16th March 2015
PIP COURTNEY, PRESENTER: Northern Territory pastoralists are the most unprotected in the country when it comes to their rights in facing up to mining and exploration companies. For years, they’ve been pushing for better protection and a bolstering of legislation. But nothing has happened and tensions are reaching boiling point.

A Rational Fear: you’ll fracking love it (comedy video)
Need a bit of a laugh with all this worrying fracking talk going on?
Watch this video for a lighthearted look at what is going on in our country
Overwhelming proof that fracking contaminates water
We’ve seen it before (like in Gasland Part II), scientific evidence proves that drilling and fracking contaminated ground water, but then the industry swoops in with their misinformation campaigns and pressure on regulatory agencies, and suddenly there’s a new set of “facts” to debate.
Our video of the week shows that the Lispky family is still living deep in Gasland, where fracking science denial déjà vu has unfortunately become the way of life.
We reported on Steve and Shyla Lipsky’s case in Gasland Part II, and the industry responded with vicious and personal attacks against the facts and the Lipsky family.
In our Video, Brett Shipp reports that the science proves not only do the Lipsky’s have dangerous levels of methane in their water, but also that an isotopic analysis proves the gas in Lipsky’s well is an almost identical match to the gas being drilled for in the area.
The scientists interviewed say these tests prove that fracking is to blame for the contamination of the Lipsky’s water.
But the Texas Railroad Commission is refusing to look at the scientific evidence, rather claiming that it is inconclusive as to where the gas is coming from.
The industry is also desperately trying to deny the facts, claiming the Lipsky case is a fraud.
But as Julie Dermansky reports in this great piece on DeSmog Blog, the industry doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
