Last Tuesday saw a huge contingent from the bush turning up at NT Parliament house to protest against proposed fracking leases across the NT.

If I had time I'd say more but I'm on the road and don't have time to write.
Here's some photos just for the record. Over 300 at an NT rally is a pretty decent turn out! Posted by David J at 7:21 am Labels: Darwin, fracking, Protest, rally GreenComotion said...

It is tricky business that fracking.
The bad effects of it, while well known through many scientific studies, are not powerful enough against God Almighty Dollar.
I used to participate in rallies and such, but I don't do it anymore, as I do not have enough time.
As a family, we minimize our consumption, where possible, and just go with that as our offering to Mother Earth.
Keep up the good work, David!
