What a complete & total fucking disaster ! I have had doubts about #MurrayWatt for quite a while, especially his campaign in #qld to get rid of @maxchandlermather.bsky.social, but he has now proved that he is a complete piece of shit. #Woodside #NorthWestShelf - a visual image of the damage! 🧵

Federal government approves #Woodside’s massive #NorthWestShelf #extension with protections for rock art.
The extension to 2070 of one of the world’s biggest #gas export projects, the Govt saying it has agreed to conditions to protect more than 1m pieces of ancient #WorldHeritage listed #indigenous #rockart that sit adjacent to the site.
Climate campaigners have described Woodside’s North West Shelf extension as a “#carbonbomb” that is incompatible with global climate goals. #auspol

#Greens leader #LarissaWaters, says the #environment minister, #MurrayWatt, should rescind his provisional approval of #Woodside’s #NorthWestShelf extension to give the nearby ancient #Murujuga #rockart a better chance of gaining world heritage status.
“We want to see this global treasure listed as #worldheritage. What we don’t want is to see it destroyed by acidic emissions from Woodside.” #auspol

Amazing. So hoomans were in North America much longer than previously thought. And at the time of last glacial maximum! ❄️ We reckon there is still more to discover.
We have the Murujuga rock art landscape in North west Australia made by our First Nation people ❤️💛🖤 with petroglyphs that stretch back 50,O00 years, of indigenous songlines, but now pursuit of fossil fuels is destroying them. 😢 #NorthWestShelf -

BREAKING: Petrina's Emergency Defence trial begins at Perth Magistrates Court.
Petrina pled not guilty after blocking the road leading into Woodside's Burrup Hub with a boat in 2024, on the grounds that her actions were in proportion to the emergency created by Woodside's emissions.
Her trial begins today, which could serve to achieve climate protest rights in Western Australia.
Outside court this morning, Petrina said:
"Woodside's emissions are directly putting us in danger, destroying climate and culture, and we should have the right to stop it.
We only have people power, so that's why I'm here on trial today."

Climate activist, @disrupt_burrup_hub campaigner and @socialistallianceoz member Petrina Harley outside the Perth Magistrates Court this morning ahead of her landmark trial to fight charges after courageously blocking the one road leading in and out of the Woodside’s Burrup Hub last year.
Petrina will plead the emergency defence before Perth Magistrates Court, and if found not guilty will secure the legal right to climate protest in Western Australia.
Disrupt Burrup Hub said: “The emergency defence argues that a person who broke the law did so in proportion to a legitimate emergency.
“In this case the emergency is clear: the climate crisis is here, and Woodside’s Burrup Hub —the biggest fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere — IS contributing to climate-related deaths with no end in sight.”

Here we are yesterday outside Labor MP Peter Khalil’s office in Coburg on the 2nd week of a Tuesday vigil to phase out Fossil Fuels. Keep tooting people. We look forward to when we can just enjoy the local Dog parks rather than sit outside an MP office every week. Labor says they do climate action while approving new coal and gas like North West Shelf extension that will cause 4.3 billion tonnes of climate pollution. That is a climate 💣

<<…the Australian government continues to push fossil fuels with the zeal of a drug lord. They brush aside resistance at the supply end, weaken resolve at the demand end, and keep state and territory governments hooked on the money.
Woodside’s motives are clear: keep their shareholders happy. But what’s the government’s excuse? More than 80 per cent of Australia’s gas is exported, most of it royalty-free. Japan, our largest buyer, sells more gas to other countries than it imports from Australia.
The biggest domestic user of Australian gas is the gas industry itself, powering facilities that exist only to serve offshore markets. This isn’t just wasteful – it’s unfair. Australians don’t see the benefits but we bear the climate costs. Despite employing relatively few people and paying little tax, the gas industry holds an unhealthy level of control over government decision-making. It’s undemocratic. Policy is being written for the benefit of gas gougers, not Australians… >>

@MelissaBenyon Yes, without key pieces of context for that very misleading final quote:
“This [North West Shelf] project is subject to those reforms, which means this plant is required to bring their emissions down each year and reach net zero by 2050 under the safeguard mechanism.”
Context: by "their emissions", the (unnamed) government spokesperson does *not* include the >4b tonnes of CO2 emissions that will result when the gas extracted from the project is burned (called 'scope 3 emissions' in technical jargon), and is only referring the (far smaller) emissions that result from the extraction process itself. However, most readers of the article are unlikely to be aware of this crucial distinction and so miss the verbal sleight of hand at play.
Also missing: even these latter emissions are very likely underestimated by current Australian government methods of accounting for gas extraction, which are not based on the latest research into the scale of methane leakage that occurs during extraction, processing and transport of #FossilGas.
Also also missing: the safeguard mechanism allows #Woodside to 'reduce' 'their emissions' via dodgy #CarbonOffset scams that frequently fail to do anything like what is claimed on the tin.
