This February 6th hear about the fight against mining and coal seam gas from leading activists in the prime agricultural region of the Liverpool Plains (who recently spearheaded a successful farmers blockade that resulted in Santos canceling plans for a CSG pilot in the area).
More than half of NSW is covered by titles for coal, mineral or CSG exploration or production but the question of what this means for food production is yet to be answered. Cost of $10/$15 includes a glass of NSW organic wine and finger food.
