Australian Pacific Coal’s attempt to have its Dartbrook mine extension reconsidered by the Independent Planning Commission uses outdated data to downplay how much the project would contribute to the Hunter’s already unacceptable coal dust levels.

The approval of the Waitsia Gas Project Stage 2 in Western Australia’s Mid West region could put underground water sources and communities at risk, according to Lock the Gate Alliance.

Protect Country Alliance has condemned the NT Gunner Government for giving a company with a terrible track record $327,140 to undertake a feasibility study and engage with landholders over a fracked gas pipeline from Tennant Creek to Middle Arm.

Lock the Gate Alliance has formally launched its “Ready for Renewables” campaign in response to the Morrison Government’s unsustainable and uneconomical push for a gas-fired recovery from the Covid-19 recession.

Lock the Gate Alliance is deeply concerned lobbying efforts by fracking companies to obtain taxpayer handouts appear to be working and have increased in response to the National COVID-19 Commission Advisory Board’s plan to have government underwrite gas projects.
