Fracking
Hi The fracking is not needed for many reasons. the solar industre is now able to suply all the power
needed. the fracking WILL leach into the ground water with the dealy chemicals used.

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.
