Our clean water on the Coffs Coast - in our water tanks, lakes, creeks and rivers - is threatened by an explosion in blueberry farming.

'Setting the record straight'.

Coffs Harbour locals aren't buying the industry's attempts to distort and ignore the significant environmental issues with this out-of-control industry.

Well done Berries Australia and @BossberryRachel for setting the record straight in our local paper.
Many politically motivated activists have been out to target local farmers. #agchatoz #nswpol #FactCheck

Coalberries: do the coal-lovin' Nats have their own 'stranded assets' problem in regional Australia on the Coffs Coast?

We see if there are regional parallels to @alexbhturnbull's national observations.

🔥BREAKING: COFFS COMMUNITY CENSORED. A discussion about a government report on blueberries within a local Woolgoolga & Northern Beaches forum has now disappeared after our most recent post. 😲🤔

⚡️RELEASE: Government report knew about risks, predicted community outrage on Coffs Coast 2 years ago.

Gurmesh Singh was a key stakeholder.

Are safe farms even economically viable in 2019?

It. Is. Time. To. Ask. Questions. 📢

What's that you hear? No, not thunder 🌩 Louder. A scandalous new report revelation being typed up.

Going live very soon.

Remember to take some deep breaths because you're going to get mad.

But then you're going to do something about it.

@AntonyGreenABC Will we see a collapse in Coffs Harbour this year? Sitting MP retiring, and our own burning environmental issue is impact of chemically-intensive blueberry farming. The Nats candidate - Gurmesh Singh - is chairman of largest blueberry cooperative. There's significant unhappiness.

[protectcoffswater @protectcfswater]

Something in the water? We're hearing reports of residents tanks being tested for chemical contamination and being replaced.

Have you heard anything? 🤔

As Nats internal polling causes alarm, retiring Coffs MP dusts off Twitter account to try attack angle over mis-speak.

Meanwhile rural voters - many not greenies - are incensed at coziness with chemically-intensive blueberry industry:

@coffsharbour Rural locals - and yes Nat voters - are furious at party's capitulation to chemically intensive ag ruining neighbours lives.

While you chortle over a snippet of mis-speak, Coffs residents are incensed at your replacement's attitude to community concerns:

That one post has potentially reached over 10 percent of the electorate. 😮

Hi @JaneCaro, on the Coffs Coast we have a board member of a contentious local industry publicly calling two women 'pathetic', 'inept' and 'sick'.

The last slur was levelled on International Women's Day.

It's 2019 and we're fed up:

@CloudsCreek @nbnnews We have been getting phone surveys at least twice a week and they are all Nats driven. Tonight’s one included Blueberries questions.

[protectcoffswater @protectcfswater]

FURY on the Coffs Coast at the chemical crisis engulfing our water sources. Blueberry farms scientifically linked causing an uncertain political outcome for this previously safe state and federal seat.
