#beetaloobasin — Public Fediverse posts

@jhaue The damage in the Beetaloo Basin is a stark reminder that voting in the LNP was never in the best interests of the Northern Territory. Time and time again, we’ve seen environmental risks downplayed while traditional custodians and local communities bear the consequences. It’s alarming that enforcement action is still under consideration rather than a priority. #beetaloobasin #fracking #environmentaljustice #waterprotection #ntpolitics #climatecrisis

We grabbed a parking spot for our e-bike when it became available, for more space and visibility for our protest delivering a scientific report on #fracking in the #BeetalooBasin outside Wills Labor MP Peter Khalil’s office on Sydney Road, Coburg. Time to use the #WaterTrigger.

Your welcome human climate activists

We delivered more Beetaloo postcards to Peter Khalil MP to urgently enhance the water trigger in Federal environmental laws.

Labor promised they would enhance the water trigger. The opportunity is here now with similar bills in House of Representatives and the Senate.

Tanya Plibersek needs to step up and prioritise updating water trigger ahead of all the other reforms in EPBC act.

Labor promised an enhanced Water Trigger in 🇦🇺Federal Environment laws to close loopholes on water use for tight shale oil and gas #fracking. Simple bills to close the loophole moved yesterday in Australian parliament. Will Labor support? #Auspol #Australia #BeetalooBasin #WaterTrigger #EPBC #FossilFuel

Major Australian review of the science of health and environmental impacts of oil and gas, including #Fracking.

Health evidence against gas and oil is piling up, as governments turn a blind eye.

Prepared to inform on major risks in expansion of gas, particularly in the Northern Territory such as Beetaloo Basin and the Commonwealth subsidised ($1.5bn) Darwin Middlearm petrochemical hub

Adam Morton's article on Middlearm development at Darwin and the $1.5 billion from the Federal Government which is in essence a large subsidy for gas expansion, in the development of the Beetaloo basin fracking, pipeline and LNG terminal for export.

The Australian government admits its funding is supporting the gas industry. That’s politically risky

"I'm deeply concerned at the sense of this country being disposable … This country is not disposable. And we need to be a little more aware, and more cognisant, of what our grandchildren are set to inherit. I don't think they're going to be terribly impressed with our passivity around environmental #destruction." Debra Dank

Global heating will drive billions of people out of the “climate niche” in which humanity has flourished for millennia. The costs and #inequities of #ClimateChange.

NT government accused of failing to address climate risks before approving #BeetalooBasin #gas project. Alina Leikin, special counsel at the Environmental Defenders Office #EDO, said the office’s own analysis of the 135 recommendations found less than half had been fully implemented! 😢 This is a complete betrayal of the enquiry and commitments made by the #NT_government and the Federal #Labor government #climateCrisis 🔥

AEC data on political donations for 2022 and #Ausvotes2022 released.

"AEC’s data shows at least $1.35 million in fossil fuel money flowing to the major parties ahead of a federal election where the climate crisis was a top ranking factor for voters.

It shows how the money was evenly spread across the major parties, with Labor netting almost $600,000 and the Coalition receiving almost $790,000 across both the Liberals and Nationals."

... Voters deserved to know that Adani funded the LNP’s campaign in Queensland. That the Nationals happily received donations from tobacco giant Philip Morris and that Labor took $62,000 from Tamboran Resources – a company fracking for gas in the Beetaloo Basin."

But in 2022 Climate activists fought back raising a $10 million election war chest that resulted in elction on 10 climate Independent MPs.
