The Blockade was delighted to host the visit of Tony Maher, National President of the Mining & Energy Division of the CFMEU, Grahame Kelly (Northern District Secretary CFMEU) and Ross Whittaker (local CFMEU representative, Gunnedah & employee of Whitehaven Coal) last week.

These gentlemen were very interested in the issues surrounding coal and gas development across the Liverpool Plains and were fully appraised by CCAG members of how inappropriate development, such as the troubled Caroona Coal Project, may jeopardize the long term viability of coal mining in NSW.

We thank them sincerely for their interest and support.
