Knitting Nannas charged in NSW coal-seam gas protest

Three women locked themselves by the neck to the gates of the Santos wastewater plant in protest against a 'destructive industry'

Three women from the "Knitting Nannas" anti-coal seam gas group have been charged after chaining themselves by the neck to a wastewater plant gate in northern New South Wales.

The women locked themselves on to the gates of the Santos Leewood Water treatment plant south of Narrabri on Monday morning. The treatment plant will support 850 CSG wells above the Great Artesian Basin.
