Farmers Want Right to Block Land Access



NSW farmers want the state government to give property owners the right to refuse mining companies access to their land.
In a submission to the parliamentary CSG inquiry the NSW Farmers Association president Fiona Simson said mining companies had too much power, and landowners should be able to veto access to their land.
“Allowing property owners to say no isn't about denying access at all, it's about restoring the balance in the relationship that pits landholders against multinational corporations,” she said.
