We know that we need renewables NOT gas for a sustainable, healthy future for our communities, our environment AND our economy. 

We can't let our government keep propping up this destructive industry. It’s time we invested our money wisely on safe and sustainable industries, and towards a clean energy future.

Tell the federal government that we want a renewables-led recovery!

The NSW mining industry is trying to overturn the Bylong mine refusal and bring down the Independent Planning Commission.

Check out our new TV ad, with local farmers demanding the Premier protects Bylong for good.

Can you chip in to keep this running on TV, and show the mining giants that they don't own NSW?

Help us combat Morrison’s dangerous push to bribe state governments to unleash fracking and CSG across the country.

Our communities are calling for renewable energy with storage, not polluting gas.  Gas is not a transition fuel, it’s a one way street to more greenhouse emissions.

Your donation helps local communities under threat to choose renewables not gas: 

-$50 will let farmers and communities speak out in the media and get the facts to voters;

-$75 will go towards supporting renewable energy projects in affected regions that have community support;

-$100 will contribute to scientific & economic reports for media and submissions.

Origin Energy are lining up to frack the Northern Territory this year, and in the firing line are some magical places, including recharge zones of Mataranka Hot Springs.

Traditional Owners have told us that Origin Energy has ignored their concerns about fracking and not properly laid out the risks involved.

We need to build a powerful movement of people willing to spread the word and take on Origin at every level, from their head offices to their board rooms.

Many regions of the country are now facing one of the worst droughts on record.

Due to climate change we face more variable rainfall and more frequent, severe fires. Our agricultural productivity is under increasing pressure.

But coal and gas mines are still targeting many of our best food growing areas and precious water supplies.

Bylong Valley and Tarwyn Park

The Bylong Valley is a place of extraordinary scenic beauty and heritage significance. The Bylong Valley Way follows the Goulburn River past dramatic sandstone escarpments to Bylong. Tarwyn Park, the home of Natural Sequence Farming is now owned by a coal mining company and the fight is on to protect it. The coal mine proposed at Bylong would dramatically deplete water resources in the Valley and change this productive agricultural district forever.

Wendy Bowman, the "Hero of Camberwell"

Wendy has been fighting coal mines for nearly 30 years and was a founding member of Hunter Minewatch. Wendy’s first property on Bowman’s Creek was a successful dairy farm until underground mining cracked the creek and removed her water supply.

Wollar

The village of Wollar was declared in March 1885 and was a thriving rural village, until Wilpinjong coal mine started up ten years ago. The heart of Wollar has been eaten away with noise and pollution from Wilpinjong driving people away, and most of the land and the village purchased by American energy company Peabody Energy which owns the mine. The community of Wollar has been decimated.

Bulga

Bulga already cops the dust and noise from three of the Hunter’s huge open coal mines. For six years, residents of the village struggled to save their town from the expansion of Rio Tinto's Warkworth coal mine. They challenged the Government’s approval But Rio Tinto and the NSW Government joined forces against them. They changed laws and regulations. They re-submitted the mine proposal and rolled over all the objections to approve it, taking away the community’s right to appeal the decision in court.
