Dear Senator Tony Sheldon,


My name is Dave Thompson and I live in Bondi,


I have been following the Senate inquiry into Oil and gas exploration and production in the Beetaloo Basin and the Beetaloo Cooperative Drilling Program Instrument 2021, which provides public money for oil and gas corporations.


I firstly want to praise Labor Senator Malarndirri McCarthy and the Senate Committee members for their role in this inquiry and bringing critical information and Traditional Owners voices into the spotlight.


During last week’s hearings the senate inquiry has heard that the gas companies seeking to frack the Beetaloo Basin have links to tax secrecy jurisdictions, the Liberal party and Russian plutocrats.


The inquiry also heard repeatedly that Traditional Owners in the Beetaloo Basin region do not want this money to be given to gas companies and that many have not given free prior and informed consent to fracking on their lands.


Traditional Owner Johnny Wilson said it was “very disturbing” that the government was handing so much money to oil and gas companies while local communities struggled to obtain even basic infrastructure.


“I still live in a tin shack. My floor is bare ground,” he said. “Just like the other Traditional Owners on Country, we are struggling to even get the basic maintenance for our land, for our community, and yet the government is willing to pour so much money into destroying our country.”


Earlier this month, the first three grants from the $50 million dollar program were given to a subsidiary of Empire Energy, a company chaired by major Liberal donor Paul Espie.


Empire Energy was given the grants, worth $21m, to drill at three sites in the Beetaloo, despite still waiting on the necessary environmental approvals from the Northern Territory government.


Other companies which may be eligible for the grants include Falcon Oil and Gas and Sweetpea petroleum, both of which are linked to known tax secrecy havens.


The money could be so much better spent. Hospitals and schools in the Northern Territory are desperate for upgrades. Private fracking companies don’t need our money.


I feel that ample evidence has been provided throughout this inquiry that this $50 million dollar federal grant program is not in the public interest and is simply a matter of the Liberal party throwing their donors another bone.


With this evidence in mind, I urge you as an Australian Senator to use your power to vote for the disallowance of this fracking instrument and to vote against these subsidies.


Kind regards,


Dave Thompson.

Please, stop fracking…Anywhere!


Please, support renewable resources NOW, which Australia has plenty of.

Please, use our tax money for the good of All Australians and support the clean industries NOW,

Listening to the science? Perhaps we could all chip in for a cochlear implant.

Words said without action are just hollow words. They say they are sorry for the stolen generation, but fail the Indigenous when stealing their land. I am fed up with this “all for me” Government that seems more interested in “gimme gimme the money” or “how much will you pay to keep my mouth shut to give you this”. This is the worst corrupt, non – transparent Government doing a whole lot behind closed doors without consulting anyone, even their own.

Remember one thing when you were voted in – I am your employer and you are my employee.

This Morrison Government is easily the most corrupt & inept Government in our country’s history. (Morrison makes Howard & Abbott look like good PM’s). They’ve contributed nothing to our citizens welfare but continually take money from the poor & give it to the wealthy via various rorts, a Job Keeper programme that gives Billions of dollars to big corporations, whilst Centrelink yet again chases ordinary people for $32m, the increased surveillance of our citizens & they are never answerable for any of their utterly disgraceful practises. Not to mention the stuff-up of the Covid Vaccine Programme & all the associated millions given to contractors for advice on the rollout???? ScuMo is an utterly despicable individual.

After the recent report on the dire state of the climate, I can’t believe you can contemplate supporting this ridiculously dangerous industry to me it’s an unbelievable state of affairs that we still support with our money!

It’s time we listened to the traditional owners of the land, and listened to scientists who warn of the dangers of fracking.

I am Aboriginal and have been fighting for Decades to stop the Desecration and Destruction of Land and Waters in Australia.

This Fracking is killing Mother Earth and is dangerously threatening to the very Sacred Ancient Ancestral Lands of Aboriginal Australia that All Australians need to survive in the Future! Please Stop this Exploitation of the Sacred Lands and Waters for All Australians!

Dear Senator,

What with the rorting history of the current Federal Government, the Covid crisis, the recent devastating climate change report, we hardly need more distressing news regarding fracking in the NT. For the sake of the Aboriginal part of our National Family, please urge a reprieve from fracking in the NT. ..for the sake of bio-diversity, water quality, Native Title rights, community cohesion, our international standing with regards to our climate change credentials and other benefits that accrue from NOT fracking.

The benefits of NOT fracking go to so many more people than just those who have a financial interest in a short-term goal of devastation of our national natural resources.

Please support the greater good.

This ugly greedy behaviour has to stop. Think of your kids kids fighting for clean air and water on a hostile hot planet Hospitals and schools need this money.

I have contacted Senators who I am confident will work for Australians, how many times have we been sold out by M.P who against the wishes of Australians including Pauline Hanson who voted for big business, and against Taxpayers who pay our taxes do not shift profits to the Cayman Islands, good fight Senator Rex Patrick aided by Senator Jacqui Lambie, the Greens and Labor. Some politicians work for ordinary citizens for a fairer system, some continue to sell us out. The worst deceitful government in my lifetime.
