| Neville,
Yesterday the NSW Parliament’s Upper House debated whether or not to strengthen protections of our land, water and communities against the risks of coal seam gas.
Take a look at who said what, and who had our back when it mattered.
The public gallery at parliament was packed full of people from communities right across the state: there were knitting nannas and farmers, people from Sydney and people from much further afield.
MPs from The Greens, Labor, Animal Justice Party, and the Christian Democratic Party all rose to their to feet to praise the efforts of our communities in fighting off coal seam gas.
They argued that we deserved to be listened to by our government, and that we have a right to laws that properly protect our land and water from the threat of coal seam gas.
Disappointingly, the Liberals, the Nationals, and the Shooters joined forces to ultimately vote the bill down. The NSW Government had the opportunity yesterday to support sensible measures to safeguard our most state’s vital assets: land, water, and communities. They squandered that opportunity.
You can read what our MPs had to say during the coal seam gas debate here.
The good news is we’re closer than ever before to winning, and we’re not stopping until our farms, forests, water and communities are properly protected.
Thank you for being part of the journey towards a gasfield free NSW,
Kate and the Land Water Future team
