73 Parliament of South Australia - Natural Resources Committee - Inquiry into Unconventional Gas Natural Resources Committee inquiry into Unconventional Gas (Fracking), pursuant to section 16 (1) (a) of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991 Potential risks and impacts in the use of hydraulic fracture stimulation to produce gas in the South East of South Australia.

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.

SUBMISSION INTO THE INQUIRY INTO HYDRAULIC FRACTURING BY THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Both my husband Ross and I are members of the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance (LCPA) because, as South Easterners, we have become increasingly concerned by the implications of possible fracture stimulation (i.e. fracking) being eventually allowed here in this region.
