Dear Steven Miles -
I am overjoyed to hear that you have stopped any fracking in the channel country of far western Queensland.
It is such a fragile area and to frack there would irrevesibly destroy the fragile ecosystem.
Fracking should also be stopped in all areas of Queensland / Australia.
The Indigenous custodians and farmers of Tara and Darling Downs and Beetaloo Basin in the NT, and other fracked areas in Australia have all been in despair at the destruction of their land.
This form of gas extraction is horrendous, pouring massive amounts of chemicals into the ground and splitting the bedrock, losing and contaminating the groundwater. This should not be happening.
This article from The Guardian says it all –

Please stop all fracking in Queensland !!
thank you
