Protesters from the Northern Rivers join with Queensland locals at the Kerry blockade
FARMERS and greenies from the Northern Rivers are standing side by side at the blockade against coal seam gas at Kerry, near Beaudesert in Queensland.
Alan Roberts, of Kyogle, said people who were usually at opposite ends of the political spectrum were surprisingly finding common ground when it came to coal seam gas.
"People I've had head-on battles with I now get on with as friends," he laughed.
"At Kerry we've had farmers and greenies and people like Alan Jones involved in the issue. Now he's a person that I strongly disagree with over matters of climate change, but he could not be better on his strength of conviction and his understanding of coal seam gas."
