Recognising the incredible work by the members of Stop CSG Sydney over many years in stopping the spread of coal seam gas in the inner west and throughout Sydney.
Ms JENNY LEONG (Newtown) [1.24 p.m.]: I draw the attention of the House to the incredible work by the members of Stop CSG Sydney over many years in stopping the spread of coal seam gas in the inner west and throughout Sydney. I note the tireless efforts of community members such as Jacinta Green, Lou Steer, Josie Evans, Pip Hinman, Adrian Shilling, Sandy Thompson, Isabel Mcintosh, Colin Charlton and many others and congratulate them on finally achieving the cancellation of PEL 463 over metropolitan Sydney in March 2015. I congratulate Marrickville and Sydney councils for their stand against coal seam gas and note that the people of my electorate of Newtown stand in solidarity with other communities across the State, including Gloucester, the Pilliga and the northern rivers in their fight to stop the spread of invasive gas fields.
