FEDERAL Member for Richmond Justine Elliot this week called on North Coast National Party MPs to speak in the debate to have the North Coast declared CSG mining free.
The debate is set down for Thursday 31 October in the NSW Parliament.
“This important debate has been triggered because more than 12,000 locals signed the petition demanding to have the North Coast declared CSG mining free,” Justine said.
“The North Coast National Party MPs Geoff Provest, Don Page, Thomas George, and Chris Gulaptis have nowhere left to hide. They must stand up and speak in this debate.
“The biggest threat to our way of life is the National Party’s pro-CSG, drilling, fracking and expansion agenda.
“Our community was forced to present this petition because the National Party MPs are refusing to listen to locals. My position is very clear. I stand with the community and oppose harmful CSG mining on the North Coast,” Justine said.
