TO:
My name is Peter Campbell, I am an IT consultant and live in Surrey Hills. I am writing to you to urge you to stand with the community and permanently ban onshore gas drilling.
The community has reached consensus. 73 communities have declared themselves 'Gasfield Free' , with an overwhelming majority pledging they will do whatever it takes to stop onshore gas drilling going ahead.
Onshore gasfields have inherent risks that we will not tolerate. Water contamination, air pollution and industrialisation threaten rural communities, the health of people and animals, our environment and local economies.
Already the coalition have promised us a 5 year moratorium on all onshore gas drilling. But that does not give us enough certainty. We need your government to address community anxiety and lift the cloud from over our heads by putting in place a permanent ban on all onshore gas drilling.
Unconventional gas (UCG) production will destroy agricultural land and wilderness areas and will greatly compromise tourism in Victoria.
I hope the Andrews Labor Government will stand on the side of the community.
Renewable energy must be implemented to replace fossil fuel usage for electricity, heating and transport.
Regards,
Peter Campbell
