I hate excuses, like everyone else, but this video is short because
The Coal Terminal Action Group did a great job organising the day. (Apologies: I had said that Climate Action organised this; a coalition of groups was involved.)
See you on Saturday. (more…)
Didn’t manage to make it to either of two important meetings tonight because I ran late at work: the ‘planning’ department’s tick-the-box attempt at community engagement re the so-called ‘revitalisation’ of Newcastle’s CBD was one and the coal-seam-gas-is-coming-to-a-town-near-you meeting at Medowie was the other.

The more people who visit the Leard forest, the more news will get out about what Tony Burke is prepared to destroy.

Have been very busy with the Leard Forest Campaign. Also been busy supporting local farmers, as in fighting fires and returning good deeds. It is time we the community all pull together against the threat of further coal mining.
Where we are at currently; we've had awesome people in camp this week-end, which has upped our ability to irritate! Boggabri coal (Idemitsu) are starting to clear more forest to prepare for further mining.
