Since August 2nd, 2013, residents living across the road from Origin
Energy's "Ironbark" Project near Kogan, Western Downs, QLD, have been
continually showered by an unknown toxic black substance emanating from
Origin's project site. The mystery substance, which has so far rained
down over thousands of acres, contaminating bushland, farms and domestic
water supplies, is accompanied by feelings of nausea, skin and eye
irritations, and what residents describe as a chronic lack of physical
energy. Despite repeated complaints to Origin and several departments of
the Queensland State Government, so far the only people to have
approached the residents regarding this problem are the local police,
who wanted to know if the residents intended to stage a protest. This
disgraceful, negligent and dangerous situation cannot continue. Origin
Energy must either cease operations at "Ironbark" until the toxic black
rain can be eliminated, or move local residents out of the hazard zone
at company expense - immediately.
