The Illawarra Knitting Nannas Against Gas (IKNAG) held a knit-in outside the office of the federal deputy leader of the ALP, Tanya Plibersek, in Sydney on May 16.

IKNAG's Annie Malow contacted Plibersek with two questions asking for "yes" or "no" answers.

The first was: Do you support a ban on CSG mining in drinking water catchment? The second was: Would you move legislation for such a ban?

Plibersek was not in her office, but two of her staffers came out offering the Nannas several balls of wool β€” all the wrong colours.

Malow said: "We know how busy she is campaigning ... but really, she left us 1.5 pages of waffle words about 'gunnas' and half policies. It was a long, long yarn not worth knitting.”
