BREAKING: Woodside’s BROWSE IS BLOCKED and the BURRUP HUB IS DISRUPTED
WA’s EPA has preliminarily knocked back Woodside’s Browse gas proposal due to its unacceptable impacts on WA’s marine environment and the Scott Reef.
Since the DISRUPT BURRUP HUB campaign started, we’ve been saying Woodside’s plans for the Browse gas development, the largest and last component of Woodside’s Burrup Hub, are too dangerous. Now, the EPA is saying the same thing.
It hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve undertaken our campaign of direct action because we knew all along that the impacts of Browse gas on the climate, the sacred Murujuga rock art, and marine life would be catastrophic and unacceptable.
Just last month, high school student Emma and high school teacher Petrina blockaded the one road in or out of Woodside’s Burrup Hub to demand state and federal government BLOCK BROWSE.
“Browse gas would not only destroy our climate, it would also cause the stunning Scott Reef to subside and wreck the only habitat for endangered turtles and other sea life,” 17-year-old Emma said at the time. “Browse Gas would disrupt precious whale migration routes, so today I’m disrupting Woodside’s Burrup Hub to block Browse.”
Premier Roger Cook, Resources Minister Madeleine King, and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek have no choice now – they must listen to the EPA, and to young people like Emma, and BLOCK BROWSE for good.
