Right now in Parliament, Labor are trying to introduce laws to fast-track gas approvals for their mates at Santos, in a dodgy move we’d frankly expect from Scott Morrison 🤬
The Liberals and Santos demanded it and so Labor has introduced these changes to Parliament, that would allow climate-wrecking offshore gas projects like the Barossa Gas Field to bypass our environmental laws for approval.
Currently, massive gas projects have to consult with Traditional Owners and go through the Environment Minister for approval – as they should. But in a dodgy deal with the Liberals, Labor are trying to make these massive gas projects exempt from our environment protection laws altogether – rather going straight to the gas-loving Resource Minister for approval.
This is exactly why fossil fuel corporations have donated millions to the major parties – to make it easier to wreck the planet for profit.
Call your local Labor MP now and demand that they don’t fast track Santo’s new gas projects at the expense of our climate.
