• The Government has no intention of addressing the health and well-being of the families who reside in the Upper Hunter Valley;
• The Government has no intention of addressing the damage being perpetrated against the environment of the Upper Hunter Valley by the fossil fuel miners of the Upper Hunter Valley;
• The Government has no intention of risking its multi million dollar cash cow;
• The Government has no intention of upsetting industries which may inject further moneys into its failing coffers by buying its electricity industry;
• The Government intends to continue its sacrifice of the horticulture, agriculture, viticulture and beauty of the Hunter Valley;
• The Government intends to continue its rape of the Hunter Valley to the detriment of the people who live there;
• The Government intends to continue its rape of the Hunter Valley until there's nothing left.
