15.01.2022 IT'S CRUNCH TIME TO PROTECT THE PILLIGA. SIGN THE PETITION. Write your own unique letter. Here's the Pilliga Rising letter. "The coal seam gas issues in the Pilliga forest of northwest New South Wales drill a hole in my heart. It’s the people of this region and their unique Australian outback lifestyle that reminds me of humanity’s best qualities.... The issues at stake are not pretty - how coal seam gas can destroy our food security, Indigenous culture, water and wildlife. If the Narrabri Gas Project is approved, anyone who resists will be forced to come face to face with law enforcement agencies. This is a travesty. 96% of the local community are opposed to coal seam gas in the area. Are you going to lock-up these people illegally for something they don't want? The people will not consent, and I believe you need the people's consent to move forward, otherwise you will be breaching human rights and all ministers will be put on notice for treasonous actions. That's not a threat, that's a fact. The people will always find freedom and save their land from being poisoned for industrial greed. Despite fearing the power of big business, we have found a voice among our communities and our own unique ways to lead the rise against coal seam gas." https://wilderness.good.do/PilligaCrun/NarrabriSubmission/
