FOURTH DAY OF PEACEFUL PROTEST IN GLOUCESTER GRANDMA TAKES DIRECT ACTION AGAINST AGL

Manning Valley resident, author and grandmother, Sharyn Munro is locked onto an AGL gate this morning to protest the coal seam gas operations in the local community.

Community members blocked all three main entrances to the AGL coal seam gas fracking operation in Gloucester this morning, in the forth day of peaceful protest and blockades at the site.

Teams of locals and visitors put themselves in position to block gas fracking workers at three entrances early this morning.

“The beautiful Gloucester Valley is the last place on earth that should be fracked for a coal seam gas field,” said Sharyn Munro, aged 66 and a grandmother of five.

“Until honest and adequate information regarding the impacts on water and health is available, this AGL coal seam gas fracking project should be suspended.

“As I researched my book Rich Land Waste Land, I learned the dangers of coal seam gas projects. That's why I'm standing up for my community today."

This is the fourth day of peaceful protest by the residents of Gloucester.
