The dispute over coal seam gas (CSG) extraction and food security continues, with gas company AGL warning protesters blockading a dairy farm they need to let workers perform work safely.
About 20 farmers gathered outside the farm in Gloucester, north of Newcastle, on Tuesday afternoon to prevent the CSG company bringing equipment to the property.
The owner of the property in question has given permission for exploration to begin, but farmers on surrounding farms don’t agree with the decision and say it is selfish not to consider the impact on them.
"It's not up to individual people to let them on because it's everybody's water that is threatened by it," Drew Hutton from Lock The Gate, a farmers' protest group said.
