Miner warned as CSG action spreads in Qld

Activists have warned a mining company none of its coal seam gas (CSG) sites are safe from protest action.

Protest action targeting Arrow Energy spread on Thursday from an initial blockade at Kerry, south of Brisbane, to a second site.

A protester scaled a drilling rig at an Arrow Energy site at Silverdale near Aratula, an hour's drive to the west.

He climbed down from the rig on police orders and was not charged, but his mother has been arrested for failing to comply with police directives.

Lock The Gate Alliance leader Drew Hutton told AAP all of Arrow Energy's CSG sites in Queensland were fair game as protesters express fears over environmental effects.
