Anna Christie is an environmental advocate & educator who has been engaged in the fossil fuel front line for nearly 7 years, organising tours of the Narrabri region particularly the Leard and Pilliga Forests (which have been dedicated by the NSW government to coal mining and gas extraction) and field monitoring of coal and gas expansion in the Namoi Valley. Anna is a foundation member of the Australian Citizen Science Association and a co-founder of the Leard Forest Research Node. Since 2017, Anna has been a contributor to North West Protection Advocacy which has focused particularly on coal seam gas advocacy in NSW.
She spoke to Environmental as Anything about her recent article on the NW Protection Advocacy blog - "Portrait of a Gasfield Workforce – The Jobs Myth" in which she says that one of the gas industry’s cruellest and most poisonous false claims – that it will generate a jobs boom for Australia – is now threatening to undermine the good work of countless groups, individuals and business owners in moving towards a more sustainable future.
