Locking the Gate?

Dreadfully sad news in Australia's anti-fracking community this week - Queensland farmer George Bender, longterm frontline fighter against the CSG multinationals, has taken his life. Testimony to the terrible impact of the fight, against fracking, on people in the front line. This is a global front line of course and the story of government-sanctioned bullying by the miners takes one's breath away. In response people are now holding vigils in the cities and the towns, remembering George Bender and expressing their anger at the actions of big mining and the complicit state. Please, read Drew Hutton's words about his friend. http://www.lockthegate.org.au/never_again #fracking #csg #lockthegate #GeorgeBender
