csg, page-2

this guy has form.

its all part of an orchestrated, program to covet media attention.

these guys are good at getting the most of media attention, aided by a biased group of journos.

they all seem to belong to Green Groups - but they always seem to hide that fact!

they are "front" people, but claim to be ordinary rfesidents.

Pickard seems to have been fighting CSG since 2009!

LOCK THE GATE ALLIANCE
Pilliga and Narrabri - Monday 29 August

http://defendourwater.blogspot.com/2011/09/pilliga-and-narrabri-monday-29-august.html

After we left Tony we met up with Bevan O'Regan in Narrabri. Bevan is 79 years old and is a strong opponent of coal seam gas exploration and extraction. A long term Councillor on Narrabri Shire Council, he is a lone voice on the Council. Narrabri is one of the only councils out this way that supports the coal seam gas industry.

After meeting with Bevan we headed off into the "wild west" at Burren Junction.

It was inspiring to see the great commitment from these two men fighting very much a lone battle against the monolithic Eastern Star Gas.

Cheers
Michael & Julie

Landholders' Right to Refuse (Coal Seam Gas) Bill 2011; Second Reading

"I congratulate the locals there, particularly Tony Pickard and his many colleagues, other local farmers and the various environment groups: the Northern Inland Council for the Environment, the Wilderness Society and the Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales. They produced a report titled Under the radar, which I commend strongly. They have identified that the activities being undertaken by Eastern Star Gas in the Pilliga Forest are being done without seeking federal assessment on matters of national environmental significance
