2020 Seeking answers to Fracking

• What is the risk of spillage and contamination from fracking?
• How much water is used in the process of fracking and where does it come from?  Is it correct  that a single shale gas frack uses 11-34 million litres of water?
• What chemicals are used in the fracking fluid process and how safe are they?
• CO² emissions and Greenhouse Gas?
• What is the risk of toxic pollution? Is there risk of soil contamination?
• Is coal seam gas more of a pollutant?
• Do the depths and hard rock barriers protect water tables?
• Is the risk of contamination near impossible of the ground water?
• Fracking is said to be "99% water, 1% sand and a tiny amount of chemical of non toxic gum". Is this correct?  Does this chemical include hazardous substances including carcinogens,neurotoxmins, irritants/sensitisers, reproductive toxins and endocrine disruptors?  Have these chemicals used in fracking been assessed for their their long-term impacts on the environment and human health?
• What is the failure rate of shale hydraulic fracturing wells?
• What is the residue in the containment ponds and where is it disposed to? 
• Is it true that large volumes of toxic waste water are produced in fracking operations with 15-80% of this waste returning to the surface and being stored in holding dams?
• Is it true that the contaminants include heavy metals, radioactive materials, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) and high concentrations of salts?
• Can fracturing fluids return to the surface as 'flowback' and can this be a problem?
• Are fracturing fluid chemicals toxic to humans or wildlife?
• How is the cleared land rehabilitated after fracking?
• In 2017 over 1000mm of rain was recorded in the Broome area from December to March where the whole of Roebuck Plains was covered by an 'inland sea'.  Would such a monsoonal flood pose a severe risk of contamination from fracking holding ponds to local waterways and aquifers, threatening wildlife, agriculture and human health? 
• Is the Theia agreement with the Karajarri people in Sept 2020 for the extraction of oil and not gas?
