Using the Opposition as a whipping boy won't fool anyone, particularly the community who fought so tenaciously against the project. Instead of trying to score cheap political points, Mr Carr should be secretly thankful for the decision to kill off the charcoal plant. " |

| 28 September 2002 A very red-faced shade of green Sydney Morning Herald 27 September 2002 by Felicity Wade "John Brogden has challenged Bob Carr over the principles that put him in power. So just who is saving the environment? Felicity Wade writes. THE death of the controversial charcoal factory on the South Coast this week has flushed out an important shift in NSW politics. For the first time in memory, the state's Opposition Leader has stolen part of the environment front from the Government and the Premier, Bob Carr, is terrified." ....

RARELY has there been a more sickening sight in politics than the NSW Liberal leader John Brogden marching on Sunday in a greenie protest against a South Coast charcoal plant. Surrounded by professional greens from the Wilderness Society, upper house MP Ian Cohen, and the usual anti-capitalism protesters recruited from the Internet, the Opposition Leader pledged: "I will not let this charcoal plant go ahead if elected in March." ....

| 24 September 2002 Brogden lost in the political wilderness Sun Herald 22 September 2002 JOHN Brogden yesterday went where no other State Liberal leader has dared go before on to the barricades with the Greens, the Wilderness Society and the tree huggers. With the State election just six months away today, he flew to Batemans Bay on the south coast to address the "Charcoalition" rally to oppose the construction of a charcoal plant at the nearby township of Mogo. Full article can be purchased from Fairfax News Store (enter "charcoal" in the search engine) [The article appears to be an anti Liberal story rather than a report on the rally. It insults the local community and others at the rally. The Article does not reflect the event at all. This was a momentous occasion and the Sun Herald has failed to report the issue. The heckling of John Brogden was from a minority of over 4,000 people who attended the rally. John Brogden at least showed up to support the local Liberal candidate and promised that if the Liberals were elected that they would stop the Charcoal Factory.... Charcoalition] |
