We are a non-profit, community group. We are not sponsored by any industry body or group. We rely on our own private resources and donations from individual MLG members.

Conspiracies, industry links and other assorted fantasies

An article published in the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) in May 2006 claimed that there was an interstate and international conspiracy of Landscape Guardian groups and that they are linked to the nuclear industry. Previously, prominent wind farm supporters have made equally baseless claims about Landscape Guardian groups being a front for the coal industry.

These claims are false and can only be seen as an act of desperation by wind farm supporters to try and distract attention away from the obnoxious behaviour of some wind farm developers and the inadequacies of the product they are selling.

At the time the article was published in the SMH, the Molonglo Landscape Guardians published a response on this website. The claims of conspiracies and links to industry groups are so ridiculous that we felt we could only respond in kind. You can read our response here, which is followed by a serious message about the tactics of the wind industry supporters and those who make their living spruiking support for industrial wind installations.

Who can join the MLG?

We will accept membership nominations from individuals who agree with our opposition to the wind farm proposal on the Molonglo Ridge. There is no membership fee, but a completed membership nomination form (PDF 11 kb) must be completed and returned to us.
