Labor and independent councillors in Marrickville decided on June 19 against holding a poll on coal seam gas at the same time as the local council elections.
This is despite the fact that the council has had two unanimous votes against coal seam gas exploration.

Greens councillor Cathy Peters put the urgency motion, inspired by Lismore City Council鈥檚 decision to poll its local residents about coal seam gas production and exploration.
