BREAKING: Mayor went to main #leardblockade camp this morning – special meeting will declare high fire risk, eviction from all road reserves

Funny – last week NSW Govt closed Leard/Pilliga forests for ‘fire risk’ – none other. Now Council under pressure to shut down #leardblockade

Local farmer @Phil_Laird1 & ecologist Phil Spark to urge Narrabri Council at special meeting tomorrow not to evict #leardblockade camps.

“@jaraparilla: if all citizens are to be banned from high fire risk areas, Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs will get VERY crowded.” #leardblockade

Looks like State and local govts are selectively using ‘fire risk’ to close down coal & CSG protests in the Narrabri region. #leardblockade
-
“@maggieatlas: @margokingston1 @jaraparilla Wonder what emergency plans of local councils for people & animals” #leardblockade

@margokingston1 It seems so.How can there be selective fire risks?Why are excavators and tree removers not risks and at risk?#leardblockade

@margokingston1 Was the fracking site equally declared high fire risk & road closed? STAY PUT. Manipulation to protesters. Evicted, mine win
-
@jan_olson of course not! It’s a scam.
-
@margokingston1 They can only ask/invite you to leave.STAY.Our road.Remind police they are servants to serve & protect us,not corp officers.

Are the #Leardblockade protesters against the one mine (Whitehaven)? or are they protesting against fossil fuels in general?
-
@NostromoHicks an alliance, range of big-pic views, all agreed wring to destroy a forest for this coal mine
