| BREAKING: under pressure from the community and the Greens, the Nationals have just changed their position on fracking in Victoria. But we need to keep the pressure on — chip in now to help stop CSG in Victoria for good.
Neville —
Right now, we have a unique opportunity to stop coal seam gas poisoning our state.On March 14 there will be a by-election in South Gippsland, currently held by the leader of the Nationals. We want to put a full-page ad in the local paper to make sure fracking is the top issue in the election and force the Nationals and Liberals to commit to a complete ban on unconventional gas. Can you help us?
Today the Nationals announced they will allow farmers to veto gas drilling on their land. This is a win, but it isn’t enough. We need a complete ban on fracking for unconventional gas. With your help, we can make it the biggest issue in the upcoming South Gippsland by-election. Will you chip in now?
If just 40 people chip in $40, we can place a full-page ad in the Great Southern Star newspaper in the week of the election. Chip in now to help us keep the pressure on the old parties and show voters where the political parties actually stand on gas drilling.
This district covers hundreds of kilometres that are at risk from fracking, which injects dangerous chemicals into our groundwater, poisons our farmland, and contributes to climate change.
This by-election provides an unprecedented opportunity to put unconventional gas on the agenda and pressure the Liberals and the Nationals to change their position.
Help us put pressure on the old parties and stop fracking in our state today.
All over Victoria, communities are standing up to multi-national corporations with the Greens to defend the country and protect their land from this dangerous practice. The Nationals’ change of position shows the power of having Greens MPs in Parliament — with your help, we can take it even further. Chip in now at http://www.adambandt.com/stop_csg.
Thanks for standing with us,
Adam
