The following is a quote from Justice Pepper in the only Australian case to date to consider opposition to a major coal seam gas project. I can only presume that Pepper J is a judicial moron, because, for legal reasons, the community group in question was NOT ALLOWED to put on any evidence that coal seam gas extraction pollutes or depletes groundwater. "The allegations made that coal seam gas mining presents a threat of serious or irreversible damage to groundwater or other water, are not only unsupported by any evidence, they are, moreover, formulated at such a high level of generality that they cannot found an assessment of the risks associated with the project." Justice Pepper: NSW Land and Environment Court, [2012] NSWLEC 197 at [175].
