Last weekend, a protest was held against constructing a critical gas pipeline between the huge Pilliga forest natural gas reserves near Narrabri, in northwestern NSW, and Newcastle.
Green environmental groups, such as Lock the Gate Alliance and Knitting Nannas Against Gas and Greed, travelled 400 kilometres in a two-day convoy down the pipeline route and finally assembled in Civic Park. All 40 of them. Very few from Newcastle joined in.
