Australian citizens are the rightful custodians of this land not governments.
Australian citizens must have a voice in deciding if, when, where and how our resources are exploited.
Our government representatives are elected to serve the Australian community and must be held accountable to act in our best interests.
Our governments must restore the balance between rampant short-term development of our natural resources and the preservation of the environment and quality of life for present and future generations of Australians.
By joining ‘Lock The Gate’ GRIP will have a greater voice. As a small community we struggle to be heard. Lock The Gate are organising many protest events as listed below.
1. Community Forum - February in Broke.
2. Four Corners Investigative report on the impacts of Coal Seam Gas industry in Australia
