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.

CEC 30 Years Celebration

Dear Stop Adani Tweed followers,

Please know that Council is going to vote on implementation of our “Adani Free Zone” this Thursday, April 19th. The Yes side needs our presence!

Please come at 4 pm to the foot of the stairs at Tweed Shire Council in Murwillumbah , for about half an hour of demonstration and music. Wear something red, or a Stop Adani t-shirt if possible. We would then go into the gallery as observers. During the Community Access part of the evening there will be presentations by Sophia Fletcher and myself on behalf of the Stop Adani movement. The Council meeting agenda will start at 5:30. Our item of interest is No. 19 on the agenda. You should feel free to leave if you feel that you have run out of time!

If you need to contact me about this by phone, I am at 0409181473 .

Please also see below a message from the Brisbane branch of Front line Action Against Coal (FLAC) about going to the occupation site. You can join a group or go independently, but it’s a good idea to do the training first!

Tired of feeling powerless? Feel you should do something to defend the environment for the future? Northern River Guardians, Nimbin and the North Coast Environment Centres are putting on a training day for non violent direct action ( aka NVDA) at Murwillumbah on Saturday March 10th.
Activists who have had success at stopping coal seam gas, slowing the advance of damaging mine projects, and creating National Parks where native forests are protected, etc will share knowledge. The participants will learn skills which will help them be effective and at the same time keeping them safe from aggression and free of violent responses in themselves and others. We invite all those who want to learn or to share to attend.
Direct Action to protect native forests from logging is likely soon. The NSW government should take responsibility to protect our common wealth, but instead proposes a system of self-management for the logging industry. Logging at Limpinwood of a key link in the system of flora and fauna reserves which is a corridor for wildlife has stopped briefly, but is likely to resume in March. We want to be ready.
The extraction of fresh water from Tweed sources and dangerous transport by heavy vehicles may need direct action to be stopped. Fossil fuels company ( such as Adani and SANTOS) are still trying to get their way through corruption of our political processes.
Come and learn techniques that might be useful .
Attendance is free. Gather at the rotunda in the park opposite Sunnyside Shopping Centre at 10 AM. Please bring protection from the sun, something to sit on, and food if you wish. Local shops are close at hand. We will have a lunch break about 12:30 and finish about 3 PM.
See you there.

Be part of #StopAdani: A Mighty Force!

Dear NR Guardians
Apologies for the late notice but there is a STOP ADANI rally in Brisbane TOMORROW, Tuesday Feb 13. Full details below the note from Stop Adani Brisbane:

WHAT: A noise protest to #StopAdani on day one of Queensland Parliament
WHEN: Tuesday 13th February 8.45-9.00am
WHERE: Outside State Parliament, George St, Brisbane

BRING: Your friends, pots and pans to bang on, whistles, instruments — whatever you can muster to make sure the politicians hear us loud and clear.

WEAR: #StopAdani red!

Hi All, 

You may already know that Stop Adani Brisbane and other orgs are hosting a big NOISY rally on Day 1 of Queensland Parliament next Tuesday 13th February. 

We’d love your help promoting it to your members so we can get a huge turnout. They had 300 in Canberra yesterday with people travelling from as far away as Coffs Harbour to be there. Could we get 300 in Brisbane? Would certainly send a strong message to kick off the year.

It would be fantastic if you could share this Facebook event on your personal and group page.

If you have a database of supporters it would be awesome if you could email them and let them know? All the details are below.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers, Moira

Make some noise to Stop Adani: 1st day of QLD Parliament

On the first day of Queensland Parliament for 2018, join us to make some noise to #StopAdani!

Adani has taken some big blows – the $1 billion taxpayer loan to Adani is out, 28 global banks have said no, major partner Downer is gone. But this company is determined and will stop at nothing to forge ahead with the mega polluting coal mine.

Whilst the Queensland Government have vetoed funds to Adani directly, they are currently considering handing over public money to coal rail company Aurizon to build the railway instead.

We must tell Premier Palaszczuk: “Keep your promise of no public funds to Adani’s dangerous mine: rule out the Aurizon loan!”

Bring out your pots and pans and your noisemakers as we take part in a special “cacerolazo” (traditional spanish noise protest) to make sure our elected leaders hear us loud and clear — we aren’t going away until Adani is stopped once and for all!

Let’s make sure they see our movement, hear our demands (and our pots and pans!) and feel our power from the first moment the Parliament sits!
