Central and Western Victoria, October 3 – 7, 2011.
This spring Friends of the Earth is hosting a series of forums to highlight the threat posed by Coal Seam Gas (CSG), coal, and shale gas across rural Victoria.
It will feature Drew Hutton from Queensland.
Drew is a leading figure in the campaign against CSG in that state, is the key spokesperson for Friends of the Earth on the issue, and the president of the Lock the Gate Alliance.
The roadshow will highlight the risks of new fossil fuel expansion to landscapes, communities, food security and climate change in Victoria. Each forum will feature an overview of the likely risks from new coal and CSG, plus a speaker who will outline landholders rights when it comes to CSG and coal exploration and mining.
