Author(s): John Watts

SALE TABLE

John Watts book is a heartfelt personal account of the successful fight by the small community of Gloucester NSW to prevent the construction of a coal seam gas field on the doorstep of the town. Its main message is that communities with information and dedication and perseverance can stand against corporate greed and government connivance and win. The book also examines the personal impact on the lives of all those involved in the campaign. Most importantly the book provides inspiration, hope and strategies to many other communities as they battle to protect their precious environment from destruction. John Watts is a retired Sydney barrister who moved to the small town of Gloucester to live a quiet life on a few acres. However his life was disrupted as he became increasingly alarmed when AGL decided to pock mark the beautiful countryside with a coal seam gas field. He reluctantly became more and more embroiled in the fight against AGL and the NSW Government which was determined to cut corners at every turn to suit the interests of AGL.
