World renowned musician Neil Murray of Warumpi Band fame has condemned fracking in the Northern Territory, and will play a live-streamed gig on the Don’t Frack the Territory Facebook page at the end of the month.

New polling has revealed more than eight in ten Territorians remain opposed to fracking, with a backlash against political support for the controversial industry likely to influence the outcome of the upcoming election.

Planned seismic surveys that will search for gas north of Perth threaten Aboriginal Heritage sites, important ecological communities, and tourism, according to Lock the Gate Alliance Western Australia.

Lock the Gate Alliance has congratulated the Palaszczuk Government for introducing legislation to establish Australia’s first full-time, independent Rehabilitation Commissioner. 

Lock the Gate Alliance is urging NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro to use an existing clause to stop the destructive Shenhua Watermark coal mine from being built, following a litany of new, deeply troubling revelations made public during the past few weeks.
