ANGRY landholders preparing to fight for the country they love attended a food security forum in Gunnedah on Wednesday.
The forum was hosted by influential Sydney radio broadcaster Alan Jones.
The chair of the Bellata/Gurley action group Penny Blatchford, attended the forum along with Moree Plains Shire Mayor Katrina Humphries, a militia of mining activists, farmers and other agricultural producers.
“It was a fantastic day. However it was so overwhelmingly sad – I can’t believe we are fighting for our right to farm the land we love,” Mrs Blatchford said.
According to Mrs Blatchford, the forum speakers at times brought tears to the surface of the audience.
Alan Jones opened the forum with stories of Queensland landholders who have been harassed, intimidated and manipulated by powerful mining companies such as Eastern Star Gas.
