PHONE N.S.W. PREMIER & POLICE MINISTER TODAY: "SAY NO TO FORCE ON BENTLEY"
Police are expected in large numbers to the Bentley Blockade protectors site near Lismore, where the community are opposing gas drilling by Metgasco in the Northern Rivers.The date of the 19th May has been confirmed for up to 900 riot police.
The community believe this to be both unnecessary and an absolute breach of their democratic right to express their dissent to this industry and that the Government has not heard nor acted on the communities overwhelming statement of being a gasfield free community of which 98.6% have voted against gasfields in the region.
The Northern Rivers call on people everywhere, and particularly here in the cities to support their opposition to this industry and demand that the call for police presence cease as it is a breach on their local communities' (and the people of NSW) democratic rights. This level of force is dangerous and unnecessary to a community which is engaging in peaceful and non violent direct action to protect the site.
TODAY (WEDNESDAY) IS A GOOD TIME TO CONTACT “STUART AYRES” AS IT IS HIS FIRST DAY ON THE JOB AS MINISTER FOR POLICE AND ALSO BENTLEY FARMERS ARE IN SYDNEY TO SPEAK TO MINISTERS IN PARLIAMENT HOUSE ABOUT THE MATTER.
Please badger every day in every way for the coming weeks...

POINTS TO MAKE
- - Request the Government cancel sending in riot squad and police presence and make clear to them that they should enable the community, who are wholly opposed to this industry, to peacefully assemble and exercise their right to object to Metgasco's gasfield exploration plans at the site.
__________________________
- - Request that the Government immediately freeze the licence and exploration activity and review the situation, and that based on the fact that the community are unequivocally opposed to the exploration of unconventional gas by Metgasco (98.6% say NO) that the exploration be cancelled to reflect democratic process, and the Petroleum exploration licence be revoked by the NSW Govt. as the gas company have “no social licence”.
