"QWIP/L Watch" and Local support
It is more important than ever for people in the affected communities of the Mary Valley to look out for one another. Strange marker posts and drilling is going on all over the Valley - perhaps what should have been done prior to EIS. Discuss your observations here.

Health impacts
In two months, this announcement has already had a major adverse effect on stress levels and general health of the community. This forum is specifically for people affected by the dam announcement to start documenting these effects. Any future class actions will need documented evidence and the process of collecting this evidence needs to be thought about and discussed now.

The Great Queensland Sell-Off
A topic designed to highlight the fact that Queensland's resources are being sold off mostly to overseas corporations. If 'water', 'power', 'coal' etc is owned off shore, what mechanisms do we, as paying consumers, have left to ensure we are not held to ransome for these utilities?
