CSG drilling rig blockaded in Coonabarabran N.S.W.

A two semi trailer CSG drill rig owned by Condor Energy has been blockaded in Coonabarabran N.S.W. this morning.
 No CSG activist Dan Lanzini reports that the blockade began about 8 a.m. today. 
Dan says " the whole community of NSW is over 90% against unconventional gas and fracking and we have seen huge problems with this industry already with B,T,E,X contamination in Gloucester, Uranium in an aquifer in the Pilliga and ground water pressure dropping all over south east QLD
Santos and the NSW Government your plans to develop CSG in NSW are over the community will not have a part of it and are ready for action"The Condor Energy owned convoy which was spotted about 10 p.m. last night has been parked overnight outside the Coonabarabran Public School. 
 Coonabarabran residents are acutely aware and concerned at the devastating impacts CSG extraction has had on water and the environment in other places and are resolute in their commitment to Stop dirty CSG extraction in their or anyone elses neighbourhood.

 Occupy Sydney are in solidarity with the blockade and all efforts to stop further fossil fuel extraction. Occupier Sara said " I don't understand why a government would not do all in its power to end dirty fossil fuel extraction when we have so many opportunities to provide clean Solar , Wind and Tidal Energy."
 Are you buying your energy from AGL or Origin or an expensive conventional supplier? There are options which are cheaper if you just switch supplier. They are all owned by hydro power companies.

NSW Dept of Communities -which as a reward for their incompetence in managing their Childrens responsibilities have been given Health Housing and Education -are The NSW State Terrorist Department beating countless hapless families into submission with powers Nazis wish they had- Courts where the evidence act doesnt apply- the ability to write reports without recordings and reinvent truth to suit their own state child abduction agenda. It would be absolutely and utterly remiss of us not to give disaffected people the opportunity to include their issues at the anniversary while informing the wider public whats really going on...Thanks Colleen Fuller of Occupy CAP and Docsbusters for taking on that responsibility.

The Stand up for the Burrup Campaign advocate for the unconditional insitu preservation of the Oldest and largest collection of Rock Carvings in the World- At the Burrup (Dampier Peninusla) in Western Australia.In an unconsciencable act of heritage vandalism WA and Federal Governments have adopted an Eyes wide shut view as industry extractives and Shipping priorities have held sway over development of the area. The Burrup has only limited Protection at State level.It should be World Heritage listed. 

 Occupy Sydney have been a participant in the local element of this Global Campaign. Stand up for the Burrup have generously consented to production of a Special Occupy Sydney 2nd Anniversary Edition of their CD being released especially for the Anniversary - Stand up for the Burrup will have an onsite info desk. 

The Farmers Report: How NAB cheated a 100 year Farming Family:  Its Always Been About the Banks: If we took away Corporate welfare and Governments penchant for protecting bankers and Corporate Gods from the people we would be a huge step closer to a reason to de-Occupy. Claire and Chris Priestley fought a valiant struggle against the mega resources of NAB- they never had the Opportunity to have the facts of their case tested in Court. Occupy Sydney have supported them through as much of their case as we could. Hear their story ....
