mining

If  the western coal fields in NSW are mined and degassafied then the australian contental plate will be at risk of awaking dorment volcanic activity. There is a fault  running threw the centre of NSW and going into Queensland and if restraint of the mining industry is not carried out then there will be consiquences for the unbourn generations. This is not a scare tactic it is a fact. The largest underground mine in the world has problems with local earth quakes so why would it not happen here in Australia. Look at the billions of tons of wool beef iron ore and other minerals and coal taken from the country over the last two hundred years, then something is going to break and it will be the continental plate it self. With the associated earth quakes and volcanoes forming.
