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 fragmentation of native forest reserves and pine
forests
• reduction in enjoyment of natural environment for walking, cycling, canoeing and caving
