| Metgasco Worker |
The people of the Northern Rivers are willing to fight these "Energy Whores" and they are not willing to give up easily. This is evident with the amount of people that gathered there over the weekend. That many people took the Richmond Valley Council by surprise. Recently this council gave permission for Metgasco to have a workers camp on the site for approximately 29 workers.
I think its wonderful this sort of people power is happening and I am glad that people power can actually have some effect.
Police were reported to have been booked into various motels in Casino ready for the big Monday morning sting against innocent people on the Lismore Road. They never turned up, and it appears that people power could well be the reason they could not go ahead with the planned operation into that area.
Metgasco's Media release waffles on about a bogged rig in Queensland and quoted this was the reason for the delay into Bentley. How long is Hendo's nose now? It must be getting longer and longer.
Richmond Valley Council are placing signage to slow down in the area and they are attempting to close down the camp site on private property. These corrupt people in power will not stop because their money is threatened and this is why Metgasco was given the go ahead for their dodgy work camp plans.
Greed is the motivator for all of these drilling attempts and this is all for sale to a bunch of Chinese companies which our governments have signed contracts with. Well China get used to it because we are not giving in. Recently there have been media releases from various gas giants that we are running out of gas and this will keep prices down, they lie. None of this is our for Australia.
Yesterday being Aprils Fools day I had to fall down laughing at the stunt by young 16 year old Kudra Falla-Ricketts of the Northern Rivers for emailing local journalists from her school with a fake media release regarding Metgascos operations in and around Casino at present.
The email from Kudra on Tuesday purporting to be from Mr Henderson, claiming that the company would cease its gas operations in the Northern Rivers region after intense community opposition.Metgasco would instead start planning for a ‘‘solar thermal plant near Casino’’, the false statement said.
That was the best present ever for me to hear this from a young child of Aiden Ricketts local activist from this area.
Metgasco are going all the way with this and calling it fraudulent and I think Peter Henderson will be the one with egg on his face as the markets were not effected by Kudras prank email.
A statement from Metgasco chief executive Peter Henderson said Kudra's prank has now been referred to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. He went on to say the fake press release could have had a ''devastating'' effect on shareholders and the market.
Personally I think a lot of people would have loved to have seen this happen. It gives me hope seeing kids make a commitment to the planet like this. High five to Kudra.
