Snap actions will be held across Australia tomorrow to protest the Albanese Government’s plans to detonate a climate bomb by approving an extension to the North West Shelf gas export hub in Western Australia.
Across every state and territory, the nation’s Conservation Councils will demand real action on climate change, and call on the Albanese Government to refuse approvals for Woodside’s North West Shelf and Browse Projects.
In his first major decision as Australia’s new Environment Minister, Murray Watt, is set to approve an extension of the most polluting fossil fuel project in the Southern hemisphere -Woodside’s North West Shelf - to 2070.
Among the planned actions are a series of community demonstrations in the following locations:
Tasmania: 7:30am at 136 Davey Street, Hobart
Victoria: 10.30am, Labor MP Gabriel Ng’s office, 651-653 Doncaster Road, Doncaster
