Frack Free Tas will be going ahead with their rally tomorrow morning, despite yesterdays announcement of a five year moratorium on fracking in Tasmania.
Frack Free Tas is extremely concerned that despite the moratorium, exploration for shale gas can still continue. Our view, is that if Tasmanians are to be assured this is not just a policy whim, the moratorium needs to be a legislated ban. Tasmania’s reputation deserves nothing less.
The rally on parliament lawns at 11 am this Saturday 28th February will go ahead and the group will continue to push for a permanent ban. Speakers at the rally include Jeremy Buckingham, a mining activist, and David Quince, a NSW farmer campaigning against fracking in his region.
Opportunity to interview our speakers will be at 10 am on parliament lawns.
