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
