These signs are proliferating across southeastern Australia in a widespread 'grassroots' protest by rural landholders against the disruption or damage caused to crop and livestock production by the intrusion of mining companies holding exploration permits. For example, fracking and drilling can contaminate vital underground water reserves, which are vitally important to many Australian farmers.
