PROPERTY PRICES ON THE SLIDE

Gunnedah Shire Council says more needs to be done to address the diminishing value of property under mining exploration licenses.
It wants the state government to stop landowners from losing money on their investments.
My community is under exploration. My home is now valueless because if I want to sell it there is simply no one stupid enough to buy it. When I speak out about what is happening within my community I am called names ( a greenie, a nimby, a whinger) and told to get a job ( have one already thanks- spent 6 years at uni getting it actually). What is happening to communities like mine is unforgiveable. Our leaders are failing us. I live in an area of thousands of residents who are all in the same situation as me. We need Australians to get up and help us. Please join “Lock the Gate” on facebook to find a way to show support.
