Farmers protest outside Santos Leewood site
on  21 February 2016

Please support these farmers from the Pilliga region by protesting against CSG outside Santos offices between 10.30am and 12.30pm at 

32 Turbot Street, Brisbane
1 Macquarie Place, Sydney.
All welcome.

Santos have not submitted an Environmental Impact Statement for their water treatment plant in the Pilliga. A legal challenge about the approval process is pending. 

Newspaper reports stating that all of the Narrabri community is behind the project are incorrect. They refer to the numbers of arrests of people from outside the area. This is due to the police not arresting local farmers when they lock on.

The NSW government is planning to crack down on CSG mining protesters, giving the police more powers and increasing fines. Some fines for protesters are already higher than those paid by companies for polluting the environment.
