The Grafton Loop of the Knitting Nannas Against Gas was officially launched six years ago on 19 October 2012.
The local nannas first began knitting in peaceful opposition to coal seam gas exploration and mining in the early days of the Glenugie blockade of a Metgasgo CSG test drill site in the Clarence Valley.
As part of the wider NSW Northern Rivers movement they helped keep the north-east "Gasfield Free!"
The Grafton Loop continues to be active on environmental issues and regularly hold knit-ins outside local state and federal MPs electoral offices.
This is the Grafton Loop on 13 December 2018 outside Nationals MP for Page Kevin Hogan's office, accompanied by "Nanna Kerry", a mascot veteran of mining protests in south-east Queensland.
This letter was sent to Kevin Hogan on the same day.....
