A huge day for us with the unconventional gas campaign in Victoria. After a mammoth 5 year campaign, a huge community mobilisation, our Premier Daniel Andrews has placed a permanent ban on all forms of unconventional gas (coal seam, shale and tight), including fracking. "Our farmers produce some of the world's cleanest and freshest food. We won't put that at risk with fracking." "Victorians have made it clear that they don't support fracking and that the health and environmental risks involved outweigh any potential benefits." - Premier Daniel Andrews https://www.facebook.com/coalandgasfree/photos/a.754390151294173.1073741842.705642879502234/1118805224852662/?type=3&theater Here is the official government statement. http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/victoria-bans-fracking-to-protect-farmers/ We are ecstatic, and grateful to the international movement for all support and inspiration for this big legislative win.
