Why
If Western Australia was a country, it would be the third largest Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exporter in the world after Qatar and the US. There are projects under development to expand this industry even further.
We are at a critical point in time.
Australia’s Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek will soon have to decide whether to approve a forty-year extension of Woodside’s gigantic North West Shelf project. This single project would add around 4.3 billion tonnes of emissions to our atmosphere and cancel out the combined savings from all announced measures to reduce carbon pollution in Australia from now until 2030.
This is one of, if not the most, significant climate decisions this government will make.
We constantly hear conflicting claims about the importance of gas for the Western Australian and national economy. We also know about the serious impacts it has on our health, climate, and environment.
Join Josh Wilson MP, member for Fremantle, Kate Chaney MP, independent member for Curtin, and Dr Richard Denniss, leading economist and Executive Director of The Australia Institute, to cut through the spin to discuss the reality of gas development for our economy and climate.
