QLD:Brown and Katter back anti CSG activist

Greens leader BOB BROWN and maverick independent MP BOB KATTER have come together in
an unlikely alliance in a southern Queensland court today to support an anti-coal seam
gas activist.

Both men were at the Dalby Magistrates Court today to support Lock the Gate Alliance
president DREW HUTTON, who was arrested in March after joining a blockade against the
construction of a CSG pipeline on Queensland's Western Downs.

On day one of a two-day hearing, Mr BROWN and Mr KATTER addressed a rally of about
50 farmers and supporters outside the court, saying that Mr HUTTON'S bravely standing
up to the resources sector.

The hearing continues.
