The widow of an anti-coal seam gas farmer who took his own life says it's disgraceful Queensland's premier hasn't agreed to meet with her.
Pam Bender, wife of Chinchilla man George Bender who was a vocal opponent of CSG before his death this month, wants Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to do more to help other farmers impacted by the CSG industry.
"The state government ignored our pleas for help and it's disgraceful that the premier still hasn't agreed to meet us," she said in a statement on Wednesday.
"We need to make sure that George's death was not in vain and that the premier will do something now to make sure other desperate farmers and landholders are helped before its too late for them too."
Mrs Bender also said she was angry the Queensland Resources Council had tried to "gloss over" the treatment of the family by CSG companies over the past decade.
QRC chief executive Michael Roche issued a statement on Tuesday offering condolences to the cotton farmer's family and claiming that Mr Bender's death was being hijacked by politicians, activists and journalists.
Greens senator Larissa Waters has said Mr Roche should be sacked over the comments.
"Instead of insulting the cause George Bender worked so hard for, Mr Roche should be urgently working to reform the way big mining companies treat landholders," she said.
Dozens of Knitting Nannas Against Gas from Queensland and NSW gathered in Brisbane on Wednesday in support of Mr Bender's family.
About 30 members from KNAGS, some knitting yellow and black scarves seated next to a sign saying "RIP George Bender", turned out to a protest in Brisbane's CBD on Wednesday afternoon.
The group is calling for farmers to be given more rights to stop CSG firms coming onto their properties.
A dozen or so bystanders cheered during speeches by a representative from KNAGS, Senator Larissa Waters and Lock the Gate president Drew Hutton.
Mr Hutton says the premier's office was "listening hard" and have told him they're putting together a package in relation to the issue, although he didn't provide any other details.
He hit back at comments made by Mr Roche, saying those who were fighting against the industry were ordinary Australians.
