ENVIRONMENT FORUM – PARLIAMENT HOUSE, 15/3

Email from Craig Shaw, BVPA Committee.

I represented the BVPA at an Environment Forum held at Parliament House last Tuesday evening.

The event was hosted by Quentin Dempster and featured -
* Frank Sartor (Labor, Minister for Climate Change and the Environment),
* Catherine Cusack (Liberal, Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability),
* David Shoebridge (Leader of the Greens in the Upper House).

About 12 different questions were compiled/distilled from questions submitted prior to the event and prepared for various individuals to present on the evening - I was fortunate enough to be selected to present one of the questions relating to Mining and Coal Seam Gas. This gave an opportunity for the Bylong Valley Protection Alliance name to be raised in front of these key political representatives and others – hopefully helping is in our cause. 

(Thanks to Bev Smiles for suggesting the BVPA for this role. Much appreciated.)
