The Lock the Gate Alliance has urged voters in the Clarence by-election to give their first preference to Greens candidate Janet Cavanaugh because of her strong stand on coal seam gas.
Lock the Gate Alliance president Drew Hutton said his organisation had no political affiliation but would recommend a vote based on candidates’ record on coal and coal seam gas.
Mr Hutton said he had studied the records of all eight candidates and was pleased that one of the independents and the Labor candidate had supported a moratorium on coal seam gas until all social and environmental issues had been addressed.
However, Ms Cavanaugh’s strong advocacy on this issue over a long period made her the best candidate for voters to express their opposition to coal seam gas moving into their region.
