**ALERT: HUME COAL (AKA POSCO) SEEKING ACCESS FOR EXPLORATORY DRILLING**

We are fighting the spread of destructive Coal Mining and Coal Seam Gas extraction in the Southern Highlands. The Southern Highlands is a unique rural, residential, tourism and recreational area, 125 km south of Sydney. It forms a vital part of the Sydney water catchment area.

Our Principles and Objectives:

• We are fighting to protect the land, air, water and amenity of the Highlands against destructive mining activities which expropriate the profits and leave the social and environmental costs for the community to bear:
• We believe that it completely inappropriate for companies to undertake these activities against the express wishes of the local community;
• We are looking for the NSW State Government to redress the imbalance between the disenfranchised landowners and residents, and the powerful coal miners and gas companies; and

• We will continue the fight until these issues are resolved in the best interests of the Southern Highlands residents  and the NSW community.
