A few thoughts come to mind, demand all minerals vacate farm land.
Stop those who both farm and profit from mining making use of their land.
And just for you Rechtub, what produces the most? farming or mining?

"A few thoughts come to mind, demand all minerals vacate farm land."

The fact is, with-out the mining (last resort) boom, Australia with its 23 million too many, would go deeper into debt to the tune of 5 times the national red hole.

Goodonya plant 3.1,so you actually took me serious?
Love to know how we separate farm land from minerals!
And yes you are quite right, mining brings big bucks.
Yuppies gobbling up near city farm land, filling it with half sized cattle,Lamas, Ostrich's, then complaining about mining give me the tom tits.
In every business, every single one, we have no right to tell the owners how to run their one.
IF mining damages farm land make them pay the full costs.

IF mining damages farm land make them pay the full costs. I couldn't agree more. Actually I thought farmers were compensated? Might be bad to inject fracking into the bed rock, however its the governments only Ace card at the moment, and with the new rich yuppies with more dreams than sence, I think we'll see alot more of it.

Belly, its a changing world my friend, and maybe a new thread on the matter just might be whats need.

This NO compo just is not right.

I'll have a dig around.
