🚨 Urgent! Ask Australian Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek to reject the Whalers Way Orbital Launch Complex (EPBC 2021/9013) proposal.
Yes, the world relies on launch capacity and Australia could usefully have its own, but not at the cost of already endangered species. There must be a better site, rather than the first one chosen by a developer.

I've just contacted the CEO of #SouthernLaunch to encourage a rethink of their proposal for #WhalersWay on the #EyrePeninsula.
Three headline species are threatened by the proposal: the Southern Emu-wren, the Mallee Whipbird and in the nearby marine sanctuary, the Australian Sea Lion.
I said yes to rockets and launch capacity for #SouthAustralia but not at the cost of our remaining habitat for unique and endangered species.
I concluded by saying that "I appreciate that our fledgeling rocket and renewables industries are being held to higher account than mines have historically. But two wrongs don’t make a right."
That's the truth of it though. Mining has had pretty much a free 'slash, burn and dig' ride historically and new industries can't be offered the same free pass.
