Mr Hogan was elsewhere in the electorate but the Nannas had a very pleasant chat with one of his youthful helpers and handed over a letter about Nanna concerns. We didn't leave a yellow flower as they are reserved for State MP Chris Gulaptis but Lynette left Mr Hogan a memento - her crocheted triangles to decorate his car rear-vision mirror.

THE NANNAS' LETTER TO MR HOGAN
The Grafton Chapter of Knitting Nannas Against Gas
understands that you are opposed to coal seam gas mining in the Northern Rivers
area. While this is very reassuring, we
trust that you are also against other forms of unconventional gas mining (such
as tight sand and shale gas mining) in our area.
While we applaud you for reflecting the position of the
community in our electorate, we have serious concerns about the Coalition
Parties' position on mining. It is clear
that the Coalition would encourage the expansion of mining in the belief that
it is beneficial to the economy.
Politicians often become obsessed with economic arguments and fail to
see the downsides of an industry such as mining – particularly in relation to
the general community's amenity and health as well as the health of the natural
environment on which we all rely.
If the Coalition were to form Government after the
election, what would its position be on gas mining – particularly on gas mining
in our area? What would be your
position if you were elected and a Coalition Government was intent on
encouraging the development of gas mining in our area?

The Nannas enjoyed the different venue and the opportunity to meet with people in a busier part of the town than their usual spot. The next knit-in will be at yet another venue. Variety is certainly the spice of life for the hard-knittin' Grafton Nannas!
