Rincewind Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Well the news media photographers won;t win any prizes for taking photos of well dressed suited protestors.
Guest MattP Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 I'm sure the Guardian tried to find at least one or two who looked like a normal member of society.
OzFox Posted 19 March 2014 Posted 19 March 2014 Not going well in these parts... http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/mar/18/coal-seam-gas-expansion-would-push-up-prices-says-thinktank The report also examined claims CSG mining was economically beneficial and better for the environment than other types of mining, both of which were rejected. “While the gas industry is relentless in its claims about job creation, the simple fact is that it is a relatively small employer,†the report said. “It commissions modelling, has dedicated websites and runs national multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns that are designed to exaggerate its employment numbers, but the objective data does not reflect the industry’s claims.†The report said the industry claimed in 2012 that it had created 100,000 jobs but according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics about 170,000 jobs were created in total for that year and of those 9,372 were in the oil and gas industry. TAI said the gas industry had been “prolific†in putting out exaggerated claims about CSG’s economic benefits while at the same time staying almost completely silent on the health and environmental risks. “While the CSG industry will provide some economic benefit, that economic benefit will be far smaller than the industry has led the general public to believe,†TAI said.

Guest MattP Posted 19 March 2014 Posted 19 March 2014 Russia and Fracking is only on the news to divert people's attention away from real issues like the homeless.
