CRUCIAL WATER GIVEN TO NEWCREST GOLDMINE

Goldmine could leave city high and dry
Let us buy water or we close, says mine

ORANGE City Council voted last night to supply 450 million litres of
water to Cadia goldmine from its own drinking supply after a heated
council meeting in front of a packed gallery.

In what one councillor described as a "test case of how communities
respond to climate change", concerns for the future of hundreds of
miners overwhelmed fears over dwindling water supplies.

"Which child do you feed?" asked Cr Jeremy Buckingham.

The city is on the cusp of moving into unprecedented level four water
restrictions.

Despite the decision, the mine may yet close if long-term supplies are
not found and it does not rain.

On April 30 Newcrest mining, which owns the Cadia Valley Operations,
made an emergency request to the council for up to 600 million litres
of town water, after warning the sharemarket about a potential
slowdown in production because of the drought.

Without the water Cadia mine could have closed within six weeks,
costing 450 jobs.

The lack of notice was heavily criticised by many of the city's
councillors last night.

Cr Reg Kidd asked why the mine had to remain in full production. "This
is purely a business decision of the shareholders of Cadia mine
because of where the price of gold is at the moment."

Cr Dave Hackett angrily told the Mayor, John Davis: "Shove it back on
them, mate. Why has this been shoved on us within a couple of weeks?"

During last night's meeting the mine's manager, Tony McPaul, admitted
there was a "huge risk" to Orange if the expected winter rains did not
fall.

"Our top priority would be to keep people employed," he said.

"Given the skills shortage we would run the real risk that people
would leave town and I can't give the guarantee that would not
happen."

The mine already receives 8 million litres a day of Orange's treated
effluent. It will now receive a total of 450 million litres from
Gosling Creek and Lake Canobolas, the city's secondary storages, for a
maximum of three months.

But some councillors said the water deal was just a short-term fix.
"If we empty Gosling Creek and Lake Canobolas then in the short term
we have neither the mine, Gosling Creek or Lake Canobolas," said Cr
Dick Niven.

The council estimates it has enough water in its Suma Park Dam for 33
months' supply - which the Mayor warned was perilously close to
triggering level four water restrictions.

Cr Kidd told the meeting the community was counting the cost of poor
water planning. "We knew we were going to have this problem four years
ago and the council has done nothing about it."

The State Government will have to ratify the council's position.

I meant of " AUTHORISED ( D )

The most terrible thing is that the Orange Council has no right
whatsoever to dispose of water resources in favour of a single ( &
most greedy "gredin" )Newmont / Newcrest mining operator, and putting
then in balance the survival of 100 000 nd people, to allow a few of
those Newcrest dastardly shareholders to get their quick buck as
return on investment ! Is that Criminal Mining Manure of Newcrest
which already is liable of the whole Greatest Gold Mine of Australia
to defrauded Narla & Day Dawn shareholders, going to forge ahead
unchecked on his trail of Swindle, Corruption, Embezzlement,
Murders, Stalking to end up now putting in Jeopardy the lives of a
large part of NSW people relying on Orange water reserves !!!!

Is it not a fact further that the Spiritual Centre of Australia which
lies at Cudal as all know, close by then, could be affected in its
survival ... all the more since it has kept religiously indeed the
souvenir of Sir Jean-Paul Turcaud ' s passage at its World famous
Bowling Club, and as well at his Hazelton Cie 's private field. I am
extremely distressed hearing such news and fully back The Hon Cr Niven
's comments, and still further dismiss any claim of urgency by the
Newmont / Newcrest Mining Criminals !

.... AND SO WHAT ?

IS THAT MINE GOING TO FLY OUT THE WINDOW IF PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO THE
ORANGE & CUDAL PEOPLE 'S SURVIVAL AND NOT TO A BUNCH OF GREEDY CUNTS '
RETURN ON INVESTMENT ???

Honour be rendered here to the Hon Cr Dick Niven 's intelligence,
and down with that Orange Maire losing both his nerve and the mere
notion of priority !

THAT MAIRE CORRUPTED OF COURSE BY THE MINING CRIMINALS ( this is their
well rooted habit ) SHOULD BE KICKED OUT ON HIS ARSE FROM OF THE
ORANGE TOWNHALL INDEED .... AND NOW !!!

With most responsible the Hon Cr Niven elected instead to the Higher
Position !

Note : Don't let yourself being rolled in the flour by the Mining
Criminals of Newmont / Newcrest & BHP / Billiton, please !

Yours faithfully

RURAL WATER THEFT GALORE IN AUSTRALIA NOW

Normal since Mining Criminals like Newmont / Newcrest & BHP / Billiton
are showing the example !
What of a few cubic meters here while the other Mining Cunts rob 450
000 there ?
Hey ?
I note as well the level-four water restrictions ... this is
completely hopeless since even level-10 water restrictions will not
bring the Rain back ...ONLY ONE THING WILL !

Anyway all this indicates a perfectly desperate and out of hand
situation. GOOD !

RURAL WATER THEFT ON RISE

IT'S a drop considered by country folk more precious than gold.

And as the state slips into another year of dry conditions the very
thing that keeps towns and farms alive is being stolen.

The drought has forced desperate people to resort to drastic measures
to combat the lack of rain with water theft up by 30 per cent.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal that since January there have been five
incidents where more than 100,000 litres of water were stolen from
tanks or taps across the state.

There have also been more water thefts involving 10,000 litres or
less.

Police are warning country people to be more vigilant in checking
water resources.

Assistant Commissioner Steve Bradshaw, spokesman for the state's rural
crime investigations unit, said the value of water had increased
significantly in the drought, which had brought a 20 to 30 per cent
rise in the number of thefts.

"It's alarming and I'm not predicting it will get worse but rural
communities need to be more aware," said Mr Bradshaw, who has been
policing in rural areas for 38 years.

"It was never reported before because there was plenty of water and no
one checked their tanks but now people are vigilant and check water."

He said the thefts mainly involved tanks and taps in built-up rural
areas.

Drought-stricken farmers not only have to battle the dry conditions
but are also continually being targeted by livestock duffers.

Every day two farms are hit by thieves, with industry experts
expecting the numbers are much higher as many thefts go unreported.

According to the Bureau of Crime Statistics there were 305 reports of
stock theft in 2006.

Nearly three years ago Blighty dairy farmer Jayson Coulton had 42
dairy heifers stolen from his paddock on the NSW/Victorian border.
They were found on another nearby paddock.

Brian Hayes was convicted of stealing the cattle and was jailed, with
an 18 months non-parole period, by Wagga Wagga District Court on May
4.

Christina Murphy was also convicted in relation to the theft and was
given a two-year suspended jail sentence and good behaviour bond. The
couple were also ordered to pay Mr Coulton almost $88,000
compensation.

Murphy has lodged an appeal against her conviction and sentence.

According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, rural crime
costs cockies more than $70 million a year. This translates to each
farmer directly losing about $5701 a year from crimes including theft
of livestock, produce, machinery or other property, burglary,
vandalism or sabotage and illegal hunting or fishing.

NSW Farmers' Association president Jock Laurie said livestock theft
was something that should not be taken lightly by authorities.

"It's not easy to prove stock theft because you have to be up to date
with your books and show clearly in documents stock movement," he
said.

Drastic curbs to save jobs

RESIDENTS in towns and cities south of the Murray-Darling system will
accept level-four water restrictions to help save jobs, councils say.

Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water Phil Koperberg said
yesterday all towns in the Murray and Murrumbidgee valleys should
start preparing for the restrictions to come into force by July 1.

Level-four water restrictions will generally mean no outside hosing,
no use of sprinklers and no filling of swimming pools.

Murray Regional Organisation of Councils (MROC), which represents 11
authorities in the area, said most would be willing to comply.

"There are some concerns to councils because people won't be able to
maintain their gardens and the aesthetics in their towns," MROC
executive officer Ray Stubbs said.

"But we also recognise we've got to do everything we possibly can to
make sure industry is not affected. The real danger is that if there
is not enough water for some of our major indust- ries, then people
could start losing their jobs."
