@georgefwoods haven’t stretched my limits so tight since our run through the Leard State Forest after winter clearing :) That triggered a week in shock, and who knows what state I’d still be in if the Sat Paper hadn’t asked for a piece and forced me to process what happened. #leardblockade
@MarkOgge I weep. So many birds and micro bats and habitat trees gone. #ecocide #leardblockade #worthmorestanding
David Pocock has condemned the expansion plans of the NSW coal mine that he protested against - and was subsequently arrested at - while he was still in the Australian rugby union team.
https://t.co/LCmDf4OAEI v @canberratimes #auspol
New court challenge for Tanya Plibersek, Environment Minister, for not reconsidering the assessment criteria of three new coal projects, one of which is Whitehaven’s Narrabri extension.

NO!!! #leardblockade
Whitehaven Coal has quietly uploaded plans to expand its Maules Creek mine
The expansion would bring the mine closer to Maules Creek village & carve out more of Leard State Forest
7. I met veteran forest campaigner Marg Mclean when #leardblockade camp a few people by the roa in unbearable fly-ridden heat. Tried to save the Leard State Forest cleared for a coal mine. “I want to see a forest that didn’t burn”. Yarratt only one in our region. #ForestWalkOn
@georgefwoods hi George - wish you were here. Kept me calm when arrested unexpectedly at the #leardblockade
273. Still can’t quite believe Sgt Troy Bullpett argued the case for native forest logging & said police bore no responsibility for Ella Baker’s safety.
Never seen police behave this way, even at #leardblockade. Feel this is gunna get very ugly.

238. Sgt Bullpey replies it is not not his responsibility to ensure she is safe. “She’s endangering herself.”
But Forestry Corp abandons attempt to remove gate snd bolt cutters sent for. He tells protester Jane Watson the forests are fully regenerated (!)

112. Sharyn is a friend - last time she was arrested was at the #leardblockade, where part of the endangered Leard State Forest was felled for a coal mine on the Liverpool Plains, a NSW food bowl. @DavidPocock locked on later.
Now with her grandson Axon.

This Camp will srsly change yr life!
@belungerer My #leardblockade makeover
The #leardblockade camp sure changed mine :)
Maybe another miracle at #NSWVotes - an end to native forest logging for the people, the plants, the animals and the planet.
19. Non-Violent Direct Action training, and tomorrow’s plan to stop the loggers discussed at the #SaveBulgaForest camp.
It’s so cool, big memories of the #leardblockade camp. Food is very very good too :)
5. My first experience of direct action was the 2014 #leardblockade to try to stop the felling of an endangered forest for a coal mine on Liverpool Plains prime ag land. It was a magical experience with visitors across Oz pitching in.

My fave Twitter activist hashtags: #SPCSunday (helped save SPC), #leardblockade (I live tweeted arrests), #IndiVotes (helped elect @Indigocathy), #Watergate (forced press gallery to go to work on Easter Monday) and #IndependentsDay (@NoFibs’ 2019 & 2022 #ausvotes hashtag).
Twitter is a superb news site - you can see the sausage being made and join in, real time, & block bad vibe people. Been here 10 years - when I joined, Webdiarist @geeksrulz made me a website - my new #Webdiary. The @smh cancelled me, Twitter gave me my voice back. #RIPTwitter
My #leardblockade friend @georgefwoods writes for @timdunlop on why she’ll never stop doing her best to help save us from climate change catastrophe.
Our podcast interview https://t.co/uI54bBqftc
Garbage Qld Govt decision (outsourced) to extend the Acland coal mine in our State’s food bowl the Darling Downs.
@SuzieHolt4Groom only #GroomVotes candidate except Greens to oppose it. Groom’s wealth built on ag. Will the people protest?

5. @NoFibs’ coverage of the #leardblockade - I was so proud to report it for Twitter on the ground.

3. Zed’s ‘extreme green activist’ tag of @pocockdavid for locking-on at the #leardblockade was false. So many heroes at Australia’s first go at stopping a new coal mine - in the Liverpool Plains food bowl ffs.
Historic win by Senator @pocockdavid, a proud participant in the #leardblockade arrested for his stand, as was I :)

In the ACT Senate race, Pocock received 72.5% of preferences during and Seselja only 18.9%. At the end of the count Pocock had 1.09 quotas with Seselja finishing on 0.86 quotas. https://t.co/XXNDJ1Jz3X
As big players & commentators interpret the 2022 climate change election - Senator @pocockdavid got arrested at #leardblockade! - @NoFibs will record volunteer stories - they made this happen. Let me know if you’d like to contribute.
I’ve retired, except for #GroomVotes2025 :)
Mega-thanks to @geeksrulz, who built @NoFibs as an act of love in 2012 when I discovered Twitter & redesigned it all the way.
His tribute to the #leardblockade folks who tried to stop Whitehaven mine for coal in the Liverpool Plains food bowl. https://t.co/YIcmy3wPYu
