NSW Farmers regional members are busy preparing to attend their rally in Sydney on May 1 when they will demand the NSW Government deliver on its promise to protect land and water resources in NSW.
The Protect our Land and Water rally has been organised following the release of the government’s Strategic Regional Land Use Policy which fails to deliver on the Liberal and National Party’s clear election commitments.
Thousands of people including community leaders, industry groups, conservationists and concerned citizens from across NSW are expected to walk from Martin Place to Parliament House on the day.
Meanwhile, three new groups have joined the campaign alliance and rally including Rivers SOS, Total Environment Centre, and Stop CSG Sydney
They join a broad range of agricultural, environmental and concerned citizens groups including Caroona Coal Action Group, Country Women’s Association, Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders Association, Hunter Valley Wine Industry Association, Lock the Gate Alliance, Nature Conservation Council of NSW, Southern Highlands Coal Action Group and GetUp!
NSW Farmers president, Fiona Simson, said the decision to rally was not taken lightly.
