At their public meeting, local MP Pru Goward urged a proactive strike against mining, suggesting a virtual civil disobedience pledge:
“I hereby give my pledge that I will not allow an employee, associate or representative of (name of coal compamy) onto my property at any time for the purpose of conducting mining exploration.”

i, for one, would probably support a similar resolution to that passed by the SHCA group - although i'm not sure of the legal trajectory for such an action...? perhaps we could seek legal advice or contact this group..?... and then have another public meeting to see if there is general support for this sort of stance. what do other people think?
Agree we should get some legal advice, (and maybe Anonymous above would care to contact SHCAG to see how they are handling that aspect) and yes, then, as suggested above, call another public meeting.
we have a local council member in the community get her inolved and listen to her she knows people in high places and more contacts than any other in the commity and get legal advice then have another meeting
