Greens MP Jamie Parker joins thousands to oppose coal seam gas

Greens MP Jamie Parker joined thousands of people from across NSW to oppose coal seam gas mining.

"This week's 4000-strong rally of farmers and environmentalists demonstrates the diverse and widespread community opposition to coal and coal seam gas," Mr Parker said.

"I'm proud to join the NSW Farmers Association, the Country Women's Association and the Lock the Gate Alliance to voice our strong opposition to this damaging industry.

"A thank you to all of the people who traveled to make their voices heard on this critical issue. We Greens will continue to call for a full moratorium on coal seam gas exploration," Mr Parker said.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
