Episode Details

The Limestone Coast is rallying against fracking, fearing it could ruin their $4 billion agriculture-driven economy and global reputation for clean, premium food exports. Local councils and industry groups have united in an open letter demanding a permanent ban, rejecting the government’s recent move to lift the moratorium amid energy concerns. Environmental advocates like the Greens are pushing legislation to cement the ban, while some industry players argue for evidence-based policy and energy security — but even within politics, consensus is fractured, with many acknowledging no social license for fracking on prime farmland. The stakes? Water, soil, air, and the region’s global brand are all on the line.
