Introducing the Knitting Nannas Against Gas and Greed
The Knitting Nannas Against Gas and Greed (popular acronym KNAGs, and referred to in this paper as the Nannas) are an Australian movement of older women activists initially brought together by the threat of coal seam gas (CSG) mining in the north coast New South Wales town of Lismore in 2012.
Nannas can be found all over Australia in groups known as loops.
From 2012 to 2018, the Nannas grew from one loop, to over thirty identified loops, most along the east coast of Australia with some in Western Australia, Victoria, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
All Nannas are both witnesses to and protestors of the environmental destruction of regional and rural landscapes due to mining.
Nannas stick firmly to the principles of non-violence and they deliberately represent the 'many who cannot make it out to protests --the elderly, the ill, the infirm, people with young children and workers'.
