It's just ridiculous what the government is willing to let happen to this beautiful farming area, especially from a non-Australian owned company.
It's heart breaking that the government has more support for a Chinese mining company, than the farmers that are arguably some of the hardest working and most important part of our society today.
For me as a local young farmer, I think the BHP mine being an underground mine will almost certainly have more devastating effects to this prime farming area.
This mine is most certainly going to destroy our irrigation water resources and cause subsidence across the plains. If this mine goes ahead this area will be ruined and will never be the same again.
