MORE than 80 protesters gate-crashed an invitation-only meeting about coal seam gas mining held in Lismore yesterday.

The meeting was called by Lismore MP Thomas George to bring stakeholders from across the region, including the gas-mining company Metgasco, together with NSW Trade and Investment executive director of minerals resources Brad Mullard to talk about concerns related to mining.

Among the 32 people who attended the meeting was Lismore Mayor Jenny Dowell, Kyogle Mayor Ross Brown, Richmond Valley Mayor Col Sullivan, Norco chairman Greg McNamara and representatives from the NSW Farmers Association, Richmond Dairies, water user and dairy groups, various environmental and anti-gas mining groups and landholders.
