PETER HENDERSON CEO METGASCO

This is the man who sent in the riot squad break us...

17 January 2013

The CSG & Mining Industries have been known to tear apart local communities.  Tara and Gladstone are prime examples.  Suicides are on the rise, as is depression, anxiety and stress.

The same can now be said for the Clarence Valley and Glenugie – in fact, the entire Northern Rivers area, and notably in Kyogle and Casino.

At the Glenugie Protest, many of the local people are fighting for their homes, for their families and ultimately, for their lives.

Bearing all this mind, it would not be unexpected to find emotions running high sometimes at the Glenugie protest site.

This has become even more evident after the “Bloody Monday” incident where the Riot Squad gatecrashed the community’s peaceful and rightful protest/blockade by stomping all over our rights and our bodies in what could be construed as physical assault by the NSW Police Force.

Does this man look like a danger? "Bloody Monday"

Can you see the obvious need for such brute force? "Bloody Monday"

Reports have now reached us of an incident last night at the site, when all the stress and anxiety was just too much to bear for one local man, a regular at the protest site. 

We are told that this man became quite emotional, jumped the fence and had an altercation with the security guards on site.

The situation had not improved by the time the Police were called and another altercation ensued with one of the arresting officers...  more information soon as it comes to hand.

Whilst some may view this man’s actions (last night) as “illegal”, we believe that MetGasCo’s invasion of our Country and planned theft of our water, our homes and our health is morally UNLAWFUL, and as such, criminal.

Metgasco Managing Director, Peter Henderson has promised during the past 12 months, in an ABC interview, that MetGasCo would proceed in the Northern Rivers only if they had a “social licence” to do so.

This is a newsflash MetGasCo – you have NO social licence here in the Northern Rivers and this is the beginning of the social cost of this toxic industry.  You are pushing normal, everyday people to the edge.

Over twenty eight (28) arrest to date, the clogging of the court system with law abiding, honest citizens, the loss of community productivity brought about by those at the protest, the absolute waste of Police time and resources,  all mixed together with the declining emotional health of our community – it is obvious this industry is breaking our community and people apart.

What say you Mr Peter Henderson?
