Gaslands Shown at Byron Bay

Gaslands Shown at Byron Bay
Simon Richardson, Greens candidate for Ballina and supporters say stop the drilling at The Dendy Cinema last night

Dayne Pratsky from the Block the Gate Alliance presented the GASLANDS movie at the Dendy cinema in Byron Bay last night. Local Greens including Greens candidate Simon Richardson were present and had an information table outside the cinema.

With tens of thousands of wells planned for Queensland and New South Wales, the situation now is urgent and The Greens, affected farmers and residents as well as many others are demanding a moratorium on Coal seam gas drilling until it can be proven safe.


Gas Wells Spreading Across Our Region like Fire Monsters

COMMENTS:
   I saw the gaslands movie last night in Byron bay.I am passionately interested in this issue. This is an outrage, and a threat to our food supply. It seems the companies and people behind this are some kind of fire monster that must have to burn coal or gas to exist. No wonder they are denying any problems with csg
