"If a deal was not done the issue would clog up in court and stall" he said.

Professor Flannery said in a statement that it was critical for emergency and health services, as well as the public, to have the best information from scientists.
''Ignoring it or shooting the messenger will not reduce the threat of climate change, it will just mean that Australia is less prepared,'' he said. ''We'd be living in the past to think that Australia did not need to prepare for a changing climate.''
Professor Flannery, a palaeontologist and author who was Australian of the Year in 2007, has been seen as a polarising figure by some because of his calls to phase out large-scale use of fossil fuels.
Palaeontologist, Dr Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland, Goolarabooloo Lawman, Richard Hunter and Scientist and former Australian of the year Tim Flannery on the Goolorabooloo coast early morning over Easter examining dinosaur footprints in collaboration with Broome Dinosaur Trackers.
A Climate Commission report released on Wednesday examined links between Australia's extreme weather and human-induced climate change. It found natural events were being influenced by climate change, because greenhouse gases are accumulating and trapping extra energy in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.

So this would explain why people are talking about the new rumour going around,that Joe Roe has accepted $1,000,000 from the government and Woodside to sign on.I guess this is just more humbug?
ReplyDeleteBarnett and Voelte always treat Joe like hes like all the rest and will fall over for a few bucks.Bergman talks like everyone will fall over for the money,sooner,rather than later.With all the to ing and fro ing,despicable deals,the pro gas mob had to start something like this in the hope they might fool a few people who don't follow the news.They've got so much sh*t all over their ass,they don't want no one looking their way.
ReplyDeleteThe KLC is on the record as saying that if the current proposal goes ahead it will be devastating for Indigenous people.
ReplyDeleteI understand there is a lot of animosity towards the Land Council over the division within the Goolarabooloo Jabirr Jabirr claim group. However people need to ask themselves if this animosity is not actually doing more harm than good.
By all accounts keep the legal avenues ticking - the delaying tactic is the best there is right now, but in the fight against Compulsory Acquisition - the Land Council and the No Gas groups have a pretty similar position - they are opposed to it.
Everybody is being divided when differences should be put aside for the purpose of tackling the Compulsory Acquisition.
Roe and Brown have talked about finding alternate sites for the project that won't hurt the Dreaming Trail.
This tells me that they are not against the gas hub on pollution grounds but on cultural grounds.
The Land Council is pretty much required to do what it is doing in order to meet the recomendations of the Report of the Working Party into Native Title Payments. That is - the money needs to be shared around. All the windfall can't just go to the group whose land has the mine/metal/industry.
If you are opposed to that concept then you have to talk with the KLC and fight the government. Don't fight the KLC on that because you might as well blame the bus driver for the price of fuel.

Does that mean Chas that the KLC brokered deal for Irvine Island today will be shared around, will Argyle Diamond mine money be shared around? I think not. Get real. The only reason KLC is arguing for sharing money from JPP is that it is a sh@#$t load of money and the brothers want a peice of it. Let's see if they fight as hard for a deal when the coal comes out of Jahlmadangah land?
ReplyDeleteGood points.
ReplyDeleteLet me think about that one.
Merry Christmas,
Love Chas
why does it look like the pakistani floods are visiting oz?
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right about the Sh##load of money and it being a driving force behind the effort etc...
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the Irvine agreement but the Argyle Agreement is, I believe, quite well regarded as a deal that has brought a wide range of benefits to people.
As for Mt Anderson ... One would expect that the lessons learned from JPP would be refined in any negotiations with coal miners there.
Does that sound unreasonable?
