Media Report 19 Sep 06

Hi bloggers!

We got good media coverage yesterday with bites on
2HD/NEW-FM
KO_FM/NX-FM
2NC/ABC NEWCASTLE

I did interviews on Felicity Biggins show on 2NUR-FM and Garth Russell's show on 2NC.

There was also a small bit on page 2 of The Newcastle Herald (as part of a Jodi McKay story) and a much larger story in The Daily Telegraph on page 11 in the Newcastle Extra section.

NBN also covered the announcement with a voice-over file footage.

There was a further story in today's Newcastle Herald (page 5) about the McKay Policy Competition launched on this website.

I also commented on the great response from the community opposing the expansion of coal exporting from Newcastle (over 700 submissions) on 2NC news.

I was interviewed with Brian Purdue by NBN about the Stockton to Watagans Green Corridor - we're optimistic the government can get the Coal&Allied land around Blue Gum Hills and Mt Sugarloaf, the Hunter Water land and the State Forest land over into the reserve system under the National Parks & Wildlife Act. - Watch this space!
