Give NT Water the protection it deserves!
Fracking poses a massive risk to water – iconic Territory water sources like the mighty Roper River and the recharge zones for the Mataranka Hot Springs are under threat.
Sign this petition to Minister Plibersek today to get urgent reforms so that the impacts of shale gas fracking on water sources is independently assessed under national environment laws.
Dear Minister Plibersek,
Thank you for committing to expand the water trigger to cover shale gas fracking as part of the national environmental law reforms.
However, we can’t wait until next year to get our water protected, because gas companies are pushing ahead to get gas production approvals this year.
We’re calling on you to bring forward the expanded water trigger now, so that the severe risk fracking poses to water is properly assessed by independent experts before any gas production occurs.
Please respect Territorians who want the same protections for water that exist for east coast gas activities.
Signed sincerely,
