Santos tell community one thing and the government another. Secret Sneaky Corehole Drilling for coal seam gas appraisal.

Shouldn't it be called *destructive* solid geometry when using the “subtract” operation?

The latest Water Technical Advisory Group meeting minutes on the Santos website are terrifying. Santos is walking further away from its commitment to monitor groundwater in the #Pilliga and the experts seem to be allowing this to happen. How can cumulative impact on groundwater be assessed when monitoring is so weak? Randall Cox from OGIA is not concerned.

It is nice to be able to cuddle a koala. Meanwhile, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek just approved Gina Rhinehart's Senex ATLAS Coal Seam Gas #fracking project which will clear endangered koala habitat on the western Darling Downs.

Giving twenty-six of the smallest states, which represent less than 20 percent of the population, veto power over federal protections would take the 'united' out of the United States.

Frustrated by the surprise defeat of Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race, a group of breathtakingly rich and highly strategic actors on the radical right, including the #Koch brothers, quietly launched an ambitious new campaign to lock in their political control once and for all.

They had used their immense wealth and institution-building savvy to capture a majority of state legislatures in 2010, so the groundwork was already in place.

This campaign would be spearheaded by a corporate pay-to-play group they had long funded to influence state laws—the American Legislative Exchange Council (#ALEC )—and a dark money group with deep ties to Charles and the late David Koch (who died in 2019), as well as the Tea Party movement—Citizens for Self-Governance (#CSG ).

When legislators arrived at ALEC’s annual meeting in August 2013, they were given detailed instructions and model text to bring back to their statehouses for a resolution demanding the first Constitutional convention since 1787.

These donors and operatives are aiming to radically rewrite the U.S. Constitution, so they incentivized complicity from needed allies.

“State legislators were promised bundled campaign contributions and grassroots support if they joined this effort to amend the federal Constitution,” wrote Chris Taylor, a Democrat who was serving at the time as a Wisconsin state representative, after attending the meeting. (Taylor is now a judge on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.)

When legislators returned for ALEC’s policy summit at the Grand Hyatt Washington hotel that December, Tea Party Patriots co-founder Mark Meckler led a workshop on the plan, organized by his newly formed "Convention of States," a project of CSG, over which he also presides. Immediately following that meeting, 100 legislators from across the country headed to Mount Vernon—George Washington’s former plantation in Virginia—for a four-hour planning session on how to win the thirty-four states needed to make the plan a reality
