The Rocky Hill Horror show, promoted by Gloucester Resources Ltd and directed by American Hans Juergen Mende and the Ross Family of Queensland, is coming to a town near you - Gloucester.

Sitting in the front row, clapping, will be all manner of mining interests, along with political sycophants, eyes glazed with dollar signs.

However, instead of sequins, feathers and fishnet stockings, we will see three monstrous open cut coal pit voids on the edge of town.

But, hey!  Don't worry, the Manning Valley won't miss out on the Gloucester production. We can look forward to the contamination of the Manning River with resultant damage to human and environmental health.

Silence is consent!

May the Force "spotlight" this obscenity.
