BREAKING: triple Golden Guitar winner, Luke OShea is locked on to the water pump that delivers Namoi River water to the Maules Creek mine right now! Speaking about why he took action, OShea says: “Knowing that a mining company was sucking water out of the Namoi River near where I grew up was very painful for me. Fresh and abundant water is the lifeblood of country Australia, and I couldn’t sit by and do nothing while it was being wasted on washing coal. “It doesn’t matter who you are, or where you’re from, if you believe in something, and you love the land, and the rivers, then you put yourself on the line to defend it. 100 years ago our ancestors answered the call to help their mates in strife overseas. Today, greed is the enemy and the battle is on our land. So much of rural Australia needs our help: hopefully, this action can inspire others to find out what’s really happening out here and to realise they can make a difference.” LIKE and SHARE to show your support for Lukes courage and the courage of everyone else who has taken action at the Leard to date. #leardblockade #endtheageofcoal [Pictured: Luke with father]
