NSW Forestry closed Leard/Piliga State forests to March for alleged fire danger but miners can enter/excavate. Abuse of power #leardblockade
-
Protesters – not miners – entering Leard/Piliga state forests = $2,200 fine under NSW Forestry emergency fire risk powers. #leardblockade
-
The 2 forests closed to public have not stopped the miners – they are ‘authorised’ to work on despite emergency fire risk! #leardblockade

“@john_stannard1: @margokingston1 Blockade hypocrisy. Surely machinery more likely to create a spark than human protestor.” #leardblockade
-
Can a reporter at imminent @barryofarrell presser ask ? re selective forestry ban on public entering Leard/Piliga forests? #leardblockade
-
“@adropex: @margokingston1 And bloody stupid to allow large machinery into fire danger area!” #leardblockade

Wondering about the #coal mine planned for Maules Creek & the #LeardBlockade stopping it?

@Monster58384887 moon behind cloud, palette in sky. Maybe storm coming. Sweating – no heat relief.

@44gallondrum never been in this region before – a small forest surrounded my coal mines and farms – hope it can be saved.

Good stuff Margo.
Good luck to all.
Good luck!
fantastic Margo to be hearing about this thankyou
so much for democracy eh?
take care out there in that heat!
So inspiring to see you out there doing the hard, hot, sweaty, fly infested yards Margot – so different to most journalism these days that is conducted via press release from air conditioned offices. You always were – and remain – the real deal. Here’s hoping this little patch of paradise is spared.
Who says the Twitterverse cannot tell a comprehensive story?
