Knitting Nannas Against Gas are among several protest groups who have vowed to increase their resistance against the coal seam gas industry

Knitting nannas were amongst protesters outside Nationals' MP Don Page's office today vowing to step up their fight against coal seam gas.

The O'Farrell Government last week lifted a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing (known as fracking), renewed exploration licences across the state and approved coal seam gas production in the Richmond Valley.

Since the announcement, the Knitting Nannas Against Gas have also staged 'knit-ins' outside the Metgasco building in Casino and Lismore MP Thomas George's office.

Nanna Clare Twomey was one of the representatives in Ballina today.

The group formed in June and has since become a worldwide phenomenon with knitters against gas in the US, UK and Japan.

Ms Twomey said the State Government's latest announcements would not deter the nannas.

"It made us more determined," said Ms Twomey.

"This is the beginning of a long, long war.

"We're just going to get bigger and more extreme."

Amelia Hicks, from youth protest group Girls Against Gas, also vowed to continue their fight.

"I didn't feel like we failed, I felt like they (the State Government) failed," she said.

"I felt like they're not listening and they've come out again and showed that they're not listening and they're not representing us.

"It was a big blow and I think that a lot of people are pretty angry and a lot of people are really upset, but the bottom line is it's motivating because we know we can't stop and we're going to make them hear."

Mr Page was in parliament in Sydney and therefore unable to respond to the protesters on-site.
