Why this petition matters

Started by Polly Cutmore

I’m Polly Cutmore, a Gomeroi Traditional Owner and I'm fighting against Santos’s unsustainable coal seam gas plan in Narrabri. As a Native Title applicant and representative of my people, I have been opposed to this project for years. Please sign my petition calling on NSW government to stop this destructive project from going ahead.

The Narrabri Gas Project poses unacceptable risk to the Great Artesian Basin and the state’s water supply. The extraction process can contaminate freshwater sources and reservoirs that our farmers rely upon during dry spells.

The Pilliga forest and water is an important place for the Gomeroi people. We believe in the healing power of these waters and have historically used it for medicinal purposes. Our water is precious to us. We cannot allow further destruction and alienation of our country and water.

The Environmental Impact Statement attracted more than 20,000 submissions, of which 98% were objections. Please join the Gomeroi people in opposing this coal seam gas project because of its significant environmental, heritage, social and economic impacts. 

Please sign and share the petition to stand with the Gomeroi people as we fight for the protection of our sacred places, plants and animals.
