I endorse entirely your struggle but I think it is doomed unless we accept that contracts in their billions of dollars mean we won't win simply by appealing to our politicians sense of fairness. Don't trust them, don't negotiate, don't delay. If we had a democracy the miners would be an impotent minority (albeit with a lot of money). Either we don't have a democracy (therefor no appeal is going to work) or the majority are happy to be fracked. I think we don't have a democracy as it would be incompatible with capitalism. Hence, my pessimism. Nevertheless, good luck - but you will need more than luck, more than a protest and more than challenges in their courts. It is us or them and this needs to be exposed.
