   Probably more importantly than any of those, is Catherine was a staunch, staunch member of Coromandel Minewatch in those 1980s days when they were hugely active in fighting mining proposals on the Coromandel. The "chain-yourself-to-a-digger" type of activism that was going on at the time, Catherine was part of the local community that saw all that happening. So she's already experienced and has a unique personal perspective. It will have been one of her Coromandel mates probably who had the placard at the recent anti-mining protest march which read along the lines "I can't believe I'm fighting this shit again"
