    Gov in Northern Territory has allowed Fracking to go ahead, mush to the concern of the 'Greens'.

    But of course they are so Green they fly in aircraft fueled by kero, drive petrol cars, eat meat, and crap like the rest of us while talking pure crap.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    #64 Vic the Fracking ban was lifted by by Liz Truss during her Premeirship

    The government has lifted the ban on fracking for shale gas in England, alongside unveiling its plans to limit rising energy costs.

    The controversial practice was halted in 2019, amid opposition from environmentalists and local concerns over earth tremors.

    But new Prime Minister Liz Truss has backed fracking as a way to help boost the UK's domestic gas supplies.

    Maybe it has been re inststed by Rishi Sunak ?

    Well no surprise there really. It is not popular, to many unanswered questions. Earth tremors and qater table pollution.

    Well they certainly have suffered earth tremors in certain areas of Lancashire.

    So all those in favour of fracking would have no objections to the practice of fracking taking place in close proximity to were they live?

    Here in Oz, a new coal mine in Queensland to open for coking coal exports, and Fracking to be allowed in Northern Territory.
    No matter how many stop oliers came to try, the projects will go ahead.

    All part of our plan for zero emissions by some time in the very distant future, about 2050 by gov standards.
    Reality will be more like 2150.

    So John how far from were you live is this all taking place ? I understand why Australia will continue producing coal and gas and Iron Ore a drop of oil. Outside of the odd sheep & Beef cattle what else are major exports from Australia Wine & Beer I suppose.
    Don't stop exporting wine please.

    About 30 klm, it was in the city we live out by the airport.

    UK will be buying beef and lamb from us along with wine.
    Coal and LPG goes all over the world, we sell to any one who wants to buy.
    Thing UK may have taken some LPG from us , possibly iron ore as well

    The new mine in Queensland is a two hour flight from us, similar for Nothern Territory,

    When it comes to money, no matter where your political leanings are, there are no scruples. This is the labour party with all their pontifications on global warming etc.

    Australia hasn’t shipped a single observed LNG cargo to Europe in Bloomberg tracking going back to 2016. While Britain’s gas grid is separate from the continent’s network, the two are closely linked via pipelines. The UK has little domestic storage and generally sends any excess gas through its links to the European Union.

    Most of Australian LNG goes to Japan and laterly China. It really does not make economic sense to import Austrailian LNG especially on older LNG carriers if they do not have Reliquefaction plant.

    Just keep sending the wine John, the Lamb & Beef from Australia is rubbish, New Zealand lamb is good quality and we have our own excellent Prime Scottish & Irish Beef, Welsh Lamb is not so bad either.
