Support Farmers Fighting for the Right to Say No to Gas

After a decade of coal seam gas production in the region, farmers on Queensland's Darling Downs are seeing huge impacts from coal seam gas. They are losing water, dealing with the stress of negotiations with multinational companies, and witnessing sections of their properties sink with subsidence as gas and water is extracted from beneath them.

We need real protection for our fertile farming regions and to give farmers a right to say no to gas on their land. Will you stand with Queensland farmers?

Will you send a message of support to the affected landholders letting them know you and hundreds of other Queenslanders support their call to protect prime farmland?

This is a chance to push for real reforms - if we stand together. Leave your message below and we will share them with the incredibly tough farmers who have been fighting this injustice for years.

    Keep up the fight to stop corporate fossil fuel entities from affecting your livelihood – vote them and those who allow this out!

    We need to keep farming land safe! We cannot afford to allow farming land to be used for anything else but to grow food. People must eat, and the downgrading of farming land for ANY OTHER PUROSE is going to have severe effects on the food available. Also, petroleum products are not in sync with farming and producing food for the general population. STOP showing no respect, or understand, or proper planning for farming. it is outright apalling that any consideration is being paid to gas or anthing else being taken from farming land! STOP it.

    We all need healthy food to eat – and that requires healthy land for growing it on! Having farming land contaminated by fossil fuel companies is criminal.

    We need a government to stand up for Australia & be reminded that this land is to be protected at all costs for our survival & generations of Australians to come. This fine is Nowhere high enough for such a blatant act.
