| Coal seam gas protesters have accused the prime minister of being too gutless to talk to them about an industry they say is a threat to Australia's food security.
Julia Gillard attended a community forum at Ipswich, southwest of Brisbane on Thursday, but avoided 30 rowdy protesters by going in and out a back door.
Waving placards reading "Can't eat coal, can't drink gas", the protesters had hoped to pressure Ms Gillard over a moratorium on CSG projects until environmental effects are better understood.
But Ms Gillard entered the Ipswich Civic Centre via a back door and left the same way, leaving protesters to chase down a convoy of government cars.
