Film night: Protect Scott Reef and keep the Kimberley frack free
For the first time in eight years, the highly controversial WA Browse gas project is open to public comment after Environment Minister Murray Watt accepted ACF’s request to reconsider its approval to be valid.
Join us for a screening of Corals’ Last Stand, a powerful 30-minute documentary featuring Tim Winton and John Butler about Scott Reef—an extraordinary coral ecosystem threatened by Woodside's proposed Browse gas development.
Scott Reef lies above the Browse gas fields, where Woodside proposes to drill dozens of gas wells. The gas would be piped hundreds of kilometres to the North West Shelf processing plant on Murujuga, extending fossil gas production for decades.
The evening will also include a short film featuring Kimberley First Peoples speaking about Country, culture, water and the threats posed by industrial gas development.
Together, these films tell the story of why so many Kimberley Traditional Owners are working to protect Country—from offshore gas at Scott Reef to the proposed Valhalla fracking project on land.
Following the films, we'll discuss:
- the current Browse proposal and why it matters;
- the proposed Valhalla fracking project in the Kimberley; and
- how you can support Traditional Owners defending Country.
There will be opportunities to:
- make a submission on the Browse proposal while the consultation is open;
- sign the petition calling for the Valhalla fracking proposal to be rejected; and
- connect with others working to protect the Kimberley.
Whether you're new to these issues or already involved, this will be an informative evening about one of Australia's most important environmental and cultural landscapes.
Don’t worry if you’ve never written a submission before — we’ll provide a simple guide from ACF and support you through the process. Bring your laptop or phone, we’ll bring pizza, snacks and good vibes.
Please RSVP to let us know for catering & venue.
