LEGAL WIN FOR PROTESTORS
The long running legal battle between NSW police and lawyers for the
Protectors of the Northern Rivers reached a remarkable conclusion in Lismore Court on December.
Magistrate David Heilpern dismissed charges against eight people who were charged during protests in January against gas exploration company Metgasco.
This follows his decision in October to stop prosecution against two other
protestors charged with similar offences.
Most were charged with attempting to obstruct traffic and/or HINDERING
POLICE.
Steve Bolt and Ben Cochrane , legal representatives for the political activists, successfully argued that the prosecution had no reasonable
likelihood of getting a conviction against these 10 people because
POLICE HAD FAILED TO FOLLOW CORRECT PROCEDURES when making arrests at Glenugie, south of Grafton.

The above is only part of the article.
However, further into the article and I quote
"Daniele Voinot was one of the individuals who had charges dropped today. She said , IT'S UNFAIR FOR THE POLICE TO BE USED FOR
POLITICAL PURPOSES AND PUT IN A POSITION WHERE THEY HAVE
TO PROTECT WRONG DOING..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Another snippet from The Nimbin GoodTimes
Residents around Bentley backed by anti coal seam gas 'protectors' are preparing for upcoming blockades against the proposed drilling of a gas well operated by CSG miner Metgasco.
Over the weekend, men and women used brush cutters and rideon lawnmowers to prepare campsite areas SURROUNDING
THE DRILLING SITE ROSELLA EO1, 12 km north west of Casino.
The main campsite for protectors is being set up on Bungabee Road off Bentley Road which will have a camp kitchen, cafe, information stall,
composting toilets, hand basins , water, parking and camping.
Daniele Vionot said the protectors had learnt from previous actions . "We had no warning with Glenugie and Doubtful Creek but this time we do."
