“Luke Hartsuyker has sold us out.”

The day after the election and I am so worried about the final result here.  Carol spoke so much truth when she said a vote for Luke is a vote for Coal Seam Gas.  In the future we will be knitting against Gas out at the front of Luke's Office in Coffs Harbour in Little Street, so he will have to get used to us all.

Carol Vernon said:

“Luke Hartsuyker has stated that farming and coal seam gas can coexist. “Luke Hartsuyker and the Nationals have sold out to the Liberals. They have sold out farmers and all those depending on a mid north coast environment that is not industrialised like the Hunter Valley and southern Queensland. They have sold out tourism, the fishing industry, the beautiful natural areas we love, and our children’s birthright.

“Expect farms dotted with wells and crisscrossed by roads and pipelines. Expect lights and noise 24/7 and toxic smells in your peaceful rural neighbourhood. Expect mining pollution contaminating our rivers. Expect roads clogged by mining industry vehicles. 

• “Expect a drop in your property values.

• “The Nationals and Liberals are prepared to risk our water and rivers for their corporate mates.”

• “The Nationals and Liberals have manufactured a fake debt crisis. This was exposed yesterday on release of their budget projections. The Liberals didn’t even bother to promise to return the economy to a surplus any sooner than Labor. 

Now they will justify rampant coal seam gas mining on our farmlands and toxic minerals mining in the headwaters of our rivers, in terms of the need for evermore growth and profits, mainly for overseas companies.

Carol Vernon also said:

 
“A vote for Luke Hartsuyker is a vote for an industrialised mid north coast. I warned of this. I wanted to debate Luke Hartsuyker on this. He avoided comment until the last days of the campaign. 

Now get ready to fight for your children’s right to clean air and clean water".  From the Mid North Coast Greens

People are celebrating everywhere because of Brians decision to stand for the Senate!

The Stop Csg Party has scored a top candidate in Mr Brian Monk from Kogan outside of Dalby Queensland.  What a top man he is and he is well equipped now to go forward with all of the expert knowledge this man has gained in his fight with BIG GAS over the past few years.

 

In this image above is Brian, Annette, and Gordon Fraser-Quick with the hat on.  I traveled around with them for a day up at the Tara Gas fields and it was a very shocking but enlightening time.  The reason why Brian is standing for the senate would be because this is where the laws are made and this is where he can have the most impact on this industry. 

He has gone as far as he can now fighting the csg industry in his own steam and I guess its time to join forces and take it to them at the big house of politics in Brisbane. 

So the announcement from Stop Csg went like this:  

We are very proud to present Brian Monk, Lead Federal Parliament Candidate in Queensland for The Senate, The Stop CSG Party. Brian, a farmer on 5000 acres in Kogan, brings a wealth of 'on the ground' experience from the gas fields in Queensland to the Senate ticket.

Brian was quoted as saying,

"Well you will probably be surprised, but I'm sick of having no voice in Government, so here we go.
Coal Seam Gas Mining has been a devastating experience for us, so now we see another chapter in this fight.
Time to tackle this from within. I am proud to be part of the Stop CSG Party and I guess the name explains this fully.  Lets join together and Stop CSG"

TODAY IS ALSO SHELBY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY, Not to forget this special day on the day.  Happy Birthday to you Shelby. xxx
