PHOTOS: Protest denounces O'Farrell gov't support for coal seam gas

Demonstrators descended on NSW parliament on March 15 after a Greens and Labor sponsored motion for a moratorium on all coal seam gas exploration licences was voted down by the Liberal-National, Shooters and Fishers and Christian Democrat members of the Legislative Council. Later that day, a petition, signed by more than 20,000 people, calling for a moratorium on all CSG projects was briefly "debated" in NSW parliament. Coalition MPs spoke against the call for a moratorium.
