Coal mining has spread beyond the Hunter Valley and the population around Gloucester is in protest about planned expansion of mines in their area. Very undignified for little Strathford beside Avon.

Yesterday, State Politicians were reminded of the problem in a protest by the farmers - to no avail.
Other politicians (Federal) are found-out about suspicious actions or have ripped off the system (in England) for which they step down - is that all? - is that as good as it gets? Is that penalty enough?
