Why
The real health and economic impacts of gas development in the NT.
We hear a lot about the benefits of big new gas projects, but in reality, gas industry jobs and profits often come at the expense of jobs and businesses in other industries.
There are also serious health concerns. In June this year over 300 health professionals signed an open letter calling for fracking must be banned in the NT due to its health impacts.
With a wave of gas mega-projects, including fracking in the Beetaloo Basin, Santos’s Barossa project and the Middle Arm petrochemical hub proposed for the NT, this forum will examine health and economic impacts of gas development in the NT.
We will make every effort to include a representative of the Northern Territory Government to hear their view on their important issue.
NT Government ministers invited to speak:
Chief Minister Natasha Fyles, unavailable.
Deputy Chief Minister Nicole Madison, unavailable.
Treasurer Eva Lawler, awaiting response.
Speakers:
Dr Louise Woodward is a leading NT paediatrician at the Royal Darwin Hospital and the Darwin Private Hospital.
