Anne Daw


Anne Daw is a South Australian campaigner for the protection of water resources and arable land from invasive mining activities.

Daw grew up on her father's grazing property near Kingston in the state's South East region, and became the first community member to participate in the Government of South Australia's Roundtable for the Roadmap for Unconventional Gas Projects in South Australia. She has also held a seat at the Round Table for Health and Energy Policy in Canberra.[1] Daw has collaborated with the Environmental Defenders Office of South Australia, members of the Lock the Gate Alliance and is a representative of the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance.[2][3]

Daw began studying the development of unconventional and coal seam gas resources in 2007 and has since become a media spokesperson on the topics of groundwater contamination and risks to agricultural and rural community water supplies associated with fracking.[4]
