Farmers are alarmed at the prospect of a new pipeline they say could lead to further development of gas fields across central Queensland s Galilee Basin.
The planned project spans more than 500 kilometres to connect Galilee Energy Limited s Glenaras Gas Project near Longreach to Jemena s Queensland Gas Pipeline near Injune.
Galilee Basin grazier Bruce Currie is worried about the industrialisation of his region and says the pipeline could impact the lives of 300 families.

The climate crisis is increasing the frequency, severity and unpredictability of extreme weather, increasing claims and making it harder to predict risk. As premiums are driven up, more customers are dropping out of the insurance market and insurers’ customer bases are shrinking.
Nowhere is this being felt more than in Australia, where the impacts of extreme weather, drought and bushfires are reaching Biblical levels. Over the last 10 years, the average home insurance premium in northern Australia has risen by 178 percent, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The commission also found that increasing insurance premiums are forcing 20 percent of people in cyclone-hit northern Australia to go without home insurance (compared with 11 percent elsewhere). This was caused by industry losses rather than price gouging, according to the ACCC.
