I am convinced we have the go- ahead for action at the HSBC bank 9 to 11 AM on Friday 2nd July (see below) Daniele and I will go to the bank which seems to be part of the Australia Fair complex at Southport. I hope others from NSW can join us to help Stop Adani. Please alert NEC and NRG email lists. Need to check covid status the day before. Cheers, my dears,

Hi Sledge,

I passed on your question to the Stop Adani Gold Coast crew. Their response was that the July 2, HSBC letter delivery would really benefit from some more numbers, as would their planned 12 of July branch occupation or 19 July branch occupation with flash dance ? ?… as there are multiple roles still needed.

Here’s a link to the July 2’nd action:

Hsbc_letter_delivery.

The other actions aren’t listed as public events, so I’ll forward you the latest newsletter so people can get in touch with the organisers if they’re able to make it up for either of the branch occupations?

Many thanks,
Tom Maughan

To all Rail Supporters:

A meeting of local Casino/Kyogle rail supporters will take place on
Thursday, 29th July at 6pm in the Jupiter Room at the Casino RSM.

The evening will feature a video of former Byron Shire Mayor Simon Richardson talking about the Byron Rail Plan and other videos showing the latest news about the campaign to save the Casino to Murwillumbah railway line.

The community will lose any future rail connection to Lismore and Byron if Richmond Valley Council pulls up the tracks from Casino – Bentley for a bike trail.

Please feel very welcome to come along and bring family and friends.

Dear Rail Supporter

Koalas in Bangalow Need Help

Our Chance to Catch A Train

Hi folks, here’s a summary for what to expect for Friday 6TH. Please
notify media.

What : protest demo against changes to koala protection laws

How: covid -safe distancing – speeches and street theatre

Where: outside office of Geoff Provest , MLA , NSW National Party

Located: South Tweed main street = Midginbal Drive
(opposite Tweed City shopping centre)

When : 1100 Friday 6th November 2020

Why: NSW govt proposes to amend the LLS Act to exclude Councils from
having control over broadscale land clearing and logging in sensitive E
zones, even in mapped core koala habitat. This removal of protection
will likely doom this iconic species to extinction in a few short
years…and many other species along with it. The NSW Upper house is due
to vote on this Amendment Bill on 10th November so no time to lose
lobbying MLCs.

Bring signs and costumes.
