Voices from the Gaslands - The Jenkyns Life in a gas field can be a living hell. This family bought a bush block and established a home in what they thought would be a quiet rural setting. Their two children have cerebral palsy and the mother has had cancer and other health issues. They needed a peaceful place to rest, recover and reach their full potential. But within a few years of moving to their rural retreat their home life was shattered. The coal seam gas industry moved into the area and have surrounded this family. Nights are dominated by noise from the industrial facilities and keep the youngest member of the family, who suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy, awake for hours every night. His body needs rest but the nearby gas compressor station and constant truck movements are taking their toll. The family are suffering but while QGC has quietly bought out others in the area, making each sign a confidentiality agreement so they remain silent about the impact on their health, the company is refusing to give this family the opportunity to get out of the gas field. They are stuck in a home they can no longer enjoy and the invasive gas industry is about to move in even closer with more wells planned just metres from their modest dwelling. _______ FOLLOW LIPSapp Hits56 Radio _______ FB: r-js/1rlggeQ / TW: r-js/1us3SdS / Listen to LIPSapp Hits56 Radio r-js/1dOIQ18 #thewho #beatles #elvis #jimihendrix #dylan
