It is from this viewpoint that members of DEA are deeply concerned by the serious threats posed to health by fracture stimulation (fracking) for unconventional (whether coal seam, shale, or tight) gas in the South East of South Australia.

John Coverdale Dear Sir/Madam, I write to you concerning the inquiry into Unconventional Gas Fracking.

Parliament of South Australia Natural Resources Committee 11 September 2015 Update: Inquiry into Unconventional Gas (Fracking) in the South East of South Australia Presiding Member Hon Steph Key MP announced timelines for the Natural Resources Committee’s Inquiry into Fracking/Unconventional Gas.

The Parliamentary Committee on Occupational Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation is calling for submissions to its Inquiry into Empowering Work Health and Safety Representatives.  

Re: Inquiry into Fracking in South Eastern Australia To members of the committee, This submission will raise a number of concerns in regards to mining using unconventional hydraulic fracturing

Executive Officer, Natural Resources Committee, GPO Box 572, Adelaide SA 5001, By email: patrick.dupont@parliament.sa.gov.au Parliamentary Inquiry into fracking in the South East of SA Friends of the Earth (Australia) is a national, membership-based environmental organisation that has been active for more than 40 years.

Dr Harrington also raises relevant scientific questions and future work that should be undertaken to gain a clearer understanding of the hydrogeology and the associated risks arising from unconventional gas production (fracking). 2.

Executive Officer, Natural Resource Committee GPO Box 572, Adelaide SA 5001 To Natural Resources Committee, Re: Inquiry into Unconventional Gas and Fracking in SE of SA I understand that the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance Inc is writing a submission for this inquiry and that they do not support unconventional gas and fracking in the SE of SA for the following reasons: •potential for water contamination caused by spills, leaks, chemicals and accidents •potential for well integrity failure due to finite lifespan of cement and steel •potential for air pollution detrimental to health of natural environment, humans and animals •potential for industrialisation of landscape and loss of "clean and green" image •unsustainable competition with existing industries such as agriculture, horticulture, viticulture and tourism which will have a detrimental impact on local economy •unsustainable competition for finite water resources •potential for release
