I reckon it won't happen. Anyone who thinks food production will double again in the next 40 years, as it has, and as it needs to, to feed another 2.5 billion people eating higher up the food chain must think it's possible for humans to swim a sub 10 minute 1500 metres. World record...

Great. Shows how much I know then. Cool. We/farmers just put forward our argument why the most productive land shouldn't be mined. If everyone else thinks that it should, that it's dollars first, then bring it on. Lets get it over with. The world is certainly awash with plentifull and...

Imagine that there was no compensation liable to a farmer? [by the law there's not]. Could you just imagine a gang of police and security guards turning up to a farm house and carting out the farmer and his wife and crying kids. Imagine the TV camera's and irrate neighbours all there too yelling...

That's funny Dazz. Considering how hard you do deals and all. We are all winning so far then. Santos did rack off and they bought a farm instead. If I'd have said to Santos 3 years ago,..... "sure guys, come on here and drill where you want, I know your allowed to and I know...

I'm not sure if anyone has had a mining company onto their land yet against the farmers wishes. It's all just a threat. As I've said a few times before, Santos told us and my neighbours that they were coming onto our farm, and when I told them to rack off they said too bad, they were coming on...

That a good article Bill. It's a wonder it hasn't got more publicity. '60 minutes' did a story on coal seam gas last night. I might be a bit mixed up, that might have been the '4 corners' story I was thinking of. Yes probably. See ya's.

Well, here's a newpaper article on it. I'm interested in this sort of stuff. http://www.theage.com.au/business/australia-8thrichest-imf-20100422-tfvk.html It says that 100 years ago Australia was the world's richest country, living off lucrative exports of gold, wool and beef but as the...

Your probably right. I'm hearing that the drill holes under these alluvial plains just flood with water as I'd expect they would. Mind you, I get most of my info from miners and contractors at the pub. I know an old experienced coal miner who years ago told me they could never get this...

I'd say it's just based just on GDP per capita. If it was based on raw mineral and energy deposits, we'd absolutely flog everyone by a million miles. I can pretty much prove there is billions of dollars worth of stuff just under my 1,000 hectare farm. Lets just look at coal? Lets use a...
