#FDotM nailed it back in November when the #ALP #Albo government granted the #BurrupHub extension:
"It seems like our only options now are death or revolution, and it's hard to decide because revolution sounds like a lot of work."

This week, the freshly re-elected #Albanese Labor government scandalously approved a forty-year extension on the operational life of the gas hub, a move that not only threatens the priceless petroglyphs, but represents permission for #Woodside (the massive gas company that basically runs the state of Western Australia) to profit off a #CarbonBomb that will, once extracted and burned, add somewhere between four and six billion tonnes of climate-wrecking ocean-acidifying carbon dioxide to the active carbon cycle. The cumulative climate pollution from the life of this one project will thus considerably exceed the sum of Australia's projected national domestic emissions for the next decade or more.
Of all the legacies of this Labor government, this decision (alongside giving the green light to dozens more coal and gas projects) will ultimately be the most impactful. The carbon released for the short-term profits of a wealthy few will contribute to massively disrupting and degrading the habitability of the planet for everyone, continuing to shape life on Earth for at least the next forty thousand years.

The enormous Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields are hundreds of kilometres off the coast of #WestAustralia
To plunder it #Woodside want to drill more than 50 wells around the Scott Reef system; and pipe the gas 900 km along the ocean floor to a processing plant.
(1,500 species; resting and feeding area for migrating pygmy blue whales, manta rays, whale sharks, migratory birds, and green turtle hatchlings.)The EPA rejects #Browse part of #Woodside’s much larger #BurrupHub project.
