A great bill from David Pocock! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The govt must have a duty of care to young people from climate harming projects, such as #gas belching #Beetaloo. Will you support? Anthony Albanese Tanya Plibersek Chris Bowen Mark Butler MP #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

A turning point. Tomorrow, the largest ever delegation of doctors will arrive at Parliament. 1000s of doctors have signed an open letter about Middle Arm. These brave doctors are on the right side of history. I urge the government to listen. heraldsun.com.au/news/northern-…

We’re in Canberra this week with Traditional Owners, parents, doctors and community members from across the Northern Territory callling on politicians to stop Beetaloo, Barossa and Middle Arm. We can’t open up new gas fields in the NT and have a safe and liveable future.

Doctors are rallying in Canberra today, protesting against fossil fuel projects that risk turning Darwin and the Beetaloo Basin into hotspots for disease. 🧵perthnow.com.au/news/environme…

Paediatrician Dr Louise Woodward has had a hectic couple of months since she wrote to @NatashaFylesMLA, pleading with her to reconsider approving fracking in the Beetaloo Basin... now she's leading 100s of people in Canberra to #DoNoHarmStopMiddleArm. kyfreepress.com.au/national/docto…

Today I joined Dr Monique Ryan MP with 100 doctors from around 🇦🇺 to call on the Govt to withdraw $1.5B funding for the Middle Arm petrochemical hub on Darwin harbour. Middle Arm will turn Darwin into a cancer alley and unlock the Beetaloo Basin to fracking.

Darwin's Middle Arm project is a ‘grand experiment’ with our climate. And as doctors said in Canberra yesterday, it’s bad for people and planet. @Gudanji4country @NatashaFylesMLA Anthony Albanese David Pocock Dr Monique Ryan MP 🌏 Zali Steggall MP theconversation.com/darwins-sustai… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

I strongly support the protest. NT doctors and parents protest against Beetaloo fracking and Middle Arm Project at Parliament House. Everyone's health is going to be adversely affected by climate change. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-0… #MedTwitter #ClimateEmergency #ClimateAction

Despite the rhetoric emissions are rising. It’s time to ditch harmful unhealthy fossil fuels and put the health of people and planet above the profits of coal and gas Anthony Albanese Chris Bowen Tanya Plibersek theguardian.com/business/grogo…

Shame on you ⁦Tanya PlibersekAnthony AlbaneseChris Bowen⁩ You know full well the harm you cause. Every coal mine, every gas field harms the people of this country. #auspol #climateemergency miragenews.com/plibersek-appr…

👏👏An important step that gives the public an opportunity to hear about the expected population health consequences of allowing shale fracking in the Beetaloo and funding this associated processing plant

The govt collects more money from HECS than it does from the PRRT. Australians are missing out on revenue for public services while fossil fuel companies make record profits. We need to increase the PRRT #auspol ADD YOUR NAME to the petition: > nb.australiainstitute.org.au/increase_the_p…
