i believe a couple of States(NSW/QLD) are doing it in small areas...
our State Govt(WA) is thinking of doing it, but theres always huge protests when the subject comes up so we dont have it here yet, but its inevitable i guess...
like i said, i dont really understand what it is,what it entails or what any longterm environmental damage would be, so i cant offer an opinion on it mate...
since you brought up the subject of "fracking" maybe you could explain in laymans' terms for me what it actually is
We have fracking here in New Zealand. We have a reputation for being clean and green but you should see our beaches and river systems, half of them are not safe for swimming. I'm really hoping we don't get it here but like another member said about international travel it could be a possibility. I've heard reports that say if we don't get it under control in a couple of weeks it will possible kill millions of people. It's infecting people exponentially so many will have to die before there is either a natural slow down or a vaccine is created.
I feel like the world leaders have not paid enough attention to it. They could have paid for a lot more people to go over and contain it but no.
