Join us on Thursday 3rd of October to visit LNP State Member for Moggill Dr Christian Rowan at his Kenmore office, to request that the LNP tell us their plans for the protection of landholder objection rights over fossil fuel projects, the protection of our prime agricultural land and water from fossil fuel extraction and expansion, and how the LNP plans to tackle the climate crisis should they be elected in October.

Over the past months, we have contacted the Liberal National Party, requesting that the party commit to protecting Queensland’s prime agricultural land from coal mines and coal seam gas, stand with our local farmers and rule out any further expansion of the petroleum industry and the damage it will inflict on our best farmland. We have sought confirmation from the LNP that they will take policies to the Qld State Election in just a few short weeks that lock in protections for agricultural land and unequivocally reject new coal mines and plans to expand existing coal seam gas operations.

However, despite the LNP acknowledging that coal seam gas extraction is causing extremely productive farmland in the Darling Downs to sink, severely reducing farmer’s ability to grow crops for the Queensland population, the party is yet to respond to our concerns or commit to bringing proactive policies to the coming state election that protect our farmland, water and climate. 

Queensland farmland is far too precious to risk for short-term profits that benefit the petroleum industry instead of Queenslanders. Queensland voters deserve to know what the LNPs policies will be and what their plan is to deal with these critical issues.

Will you join us this Thursday to help pressure the LNP to commit to protect our land, water and climate?
