As you are probably aware, the new federal Environment Minister, Murray Watt, has recently approved an extension of the Woodside gas production facility near Karratha in Western Australia for 40 years, until 2070. This is an appalling decision but our attention now needs to turn to stopping Woodside’s proposal to drill for gas in the Browse Basin near Scott Reef. If we can do that, we will significantly reduce the supply of gas to the Karratha facility.
Scott Reef is a truly magical place, home to a wide variety of marine life including pygmy blue whales and green turtles. And it will be under serious threat if drilling at Browse Basin goes ahead. Corals’ Last Stand is a beautiful film about Scott Reef and how important it is that it be protected.
ACF AWR, ACF GWS and other groups are hoping that the film will help build a movement in the communities of Greater Western Sydney, and in other places across Australia, in support of effective nature protection and an end to approving new and expanded fossil fuel projects.
On Monday 28 July at 7.30pm, ACF Greater Western Sydney Community Group is hosting an online screening of the film Corals’ Last Stand. ACF AWR and other groups will also be participating in this screening. We hope you will be able to join us for this wonderful film.
