The Albanese Government has the power to stop further gas expansion and protect the places we love, before it's too late. We all urgently need to speak up now and let our government know that Australians want an end to climate-wrecking coal and gas!
That's why ACF has partnered with Save Scott Reef and Environment Centre NT for a huge town hall that will shed light on some dangerous gas projects that are currently under consideration by the Albanese Government.
Recently, the Albanese Government approved three coal mine expansions, and right now the Government are considering whether to approve two major gas expansion projects in WA until 2070, and considering handing $1.9 billion to fund a gas hub in the NT. They are also shockingly considering whether to allow a US oil and gas company to frack the Kimberley.
We need to show up together, to help the fight to protect Country and climate and tell it to the Albanese Government straight - their actions are putting our future, and the future of our beautiful big backyard, at risk.
Come along to this powerful town hall to hear from an incredible lineup of speakers, including:
- Mililma May is a Danggalaba Kulumbirgin Tiwi woman. She is a community organiser and freelance writer. She has supported grassroots movements across the Top End in the fight for Aboriginal self-determination and liberation.
- Gadrian Hoosan, Garrwa/Yanyuwa community leader from Borroloola in the Northern Territory's Gulf of Carpentaria will speak about the impacts of fracking in the NT and the local movement to stop it
- Martin Pritchard, Director at Environs Kimberley will speak about the current proposal to frack the Kimberley and its impacts on WA’s nature, water and endangered species.
- Dr Louise Woodward, Paediatrician in Darwin, will speak about the health impacts of coal and gas and the proposed Middle Arm gas hub.
- Anna Chapman, Fossil Fuels Program Manager at CCWA, will speak about Woodside’s proposal to open new offshore gas fields and the fight to save Scott Reef in WA And one more speaker to be announced soon!
Hosted by ACF's Climate Campaign Manager Gavan McFadzean, this town hall will bring together local climate and nature advocacy groups from across Gadigal Country in Sydney.
Stalls, snacks and kids activities from 5.30pm.
