Rock the Gate does the Northern Rivers proud:
" SHOCK jock Alan Jones has been dumped as headline speaker at an anti-coal seam gas rally on the Tweed next week, with organisers condemning him as a 'thoughtless bastard' for his extraordinary personal attack on Julia Gillard.
Alan
Jones has become a champion of the anti-CSG movement, telling the National
Press Club last week that prime farming land was being turned into 'a quarry and
a worthless lunar landscape' by miners.
The right-wing commentator, who grew up on a farm on the Darling Downs, has
even sided with the Greens on the issue.
Jones was to have been guest speaker at the 'Rock
the Gate' anti-CSG rally and concert at Murwillumbah on October 13.
But after a
public outcry and threats of a boycott, organiser Michael McNamara said the
controversial Sydney broadcaster's invitation to speak at the event had been
withdrawn...."
