Moderators Bravus Posted December 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2013 Web site banner begins with... "DEDICATED TO EXPOSING LEFTIST DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA..." Forgive me if I wait for a *slightly* less biased source. Actually, I won't wait, I'll go for a dig and try to find this claim from a better source.

Moderators Bravus Posted December 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks - I think in the end the conclusion I came to is that the find is there, and it's real, but its importance and potential had been over-stated and its discovery is at a very preliminary stage. Certainly it would be nice economically for Australia, even if environmentally pretty disastrous. Quote Truth is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Bravus Posted December 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 13, 2013 There's a fairly strong anti-fracking movement in Australia that might impede it, but on the other hand Coober Pedy is pretty remote - only reason there's anything there at all is the opal mines.
