Lock the Gate’s Cassie McMahon was at Ag-Grow offering support to landholders isolated by the mining boom.
All the latest from a very muddy AgGrow 2012.
Lock the Gate support
UNDER a green Eureka flag symbolising unity and landholder rights, Ag-Grow attendees were offered information and support about a counter-movement spreading as fast as the coal and gas industries in Queensland.
Representatives from the Lock the Gate Alliance were on hand spreading their message to landholders feeling the pressure of mining encroachment.
"I have had landholders who cry when they find out they are not the only ones experiencing what they are experiencing," LTG's Cassie McMahon said.
"It's an opportunity for landholders feeling the pressure to find some support from people who are involved in our campaign and get some additional ideas and avenues that they can put into practice."
Cassie said landholders were often isolated and intimidated by resource companies, and uncomfortable at the idea of "standing up and sticking their neck out".
