A short and sharp protest outside a high-powered event with a gas-promoting agenda.
The protest will target a luncheon titled, “The role of Gas in Australia’s Energy Future” which will feature the speakers, Kevin Gallagher, CEO of Santos, and Mick McCormack, the CEO of APA Group (the company planning to build the Pilliga gas pipeline) as well as the NSW Chief Scientist, Professor Mary O’Kane.
Join farmers, Gamilaraay Traditional Owners, and renewable energy advocates to tell these CEOs to frack off from Gamilaraay Country, from our forests, farmland and precious Great Artesian Basin!
Unconventional gas is high cost, high emissions, high risk, and unwelcome in NSW. Renewable energy can provide reliable electricity at a fraction of the price of gas without putting farmers livelihoods at risk.
The Santos 850 well Narrabri Gas Project in the Pilliga forest is the final CSG proposal in NSW. Its Environmental Impact Statement recently inspired a record breaking 23,000 submissions—with over 98% opposing.
Join us to prove, yet again, that CSG has no social licence, and to take our opposition straight to the top!
