Friends,

Some of the fantastic messages spoken at the Food Security Forum at Gunnedah:

"We are in the early stages of a great assault, rural communities are being blitzed, by an organized powerful enemy that has no regard for their well being, early victories have given the coal seam gas industry a toehold in almost every community in the land." Dr Wayne Sommerville. Psychologist Lismore. Speaker at the above event.

 "....This is about something far more damaging, this is about the loss of our rights as Australian citizens and the loss of our basic freedoms..both the state and the federal governments have conspired to remove our rights over our land, they have deliberately conspired to bully, to abuse, to force Australians into court if they do not comply with the demands of foreign owned mining companies..." Heather Brown Contributing journalist to "The Australian." Speaker at the above event.

"If you love you counrty, you are going to have to fight for it." Drew Hutton. Lock the gate alliance.

I was able to obtain some audio of the event. Also an interview with Rosemary Nankivell of Carrona Coal Action Group can be heard at http://www.fairdinkumradio.com/

Very inspiring and consolidating meeting.
