Big oil has no right to risk – We will fight for the Bight
In an area as incredible as the Great Australian Bight, there is no way that oil companies should be given the right to risk this internationally significant place. We will stand together and show that there is no social licence for oil companies to drill in our Great Australian Bight.
Unique. Pristine. At Risk.
Our Great Australian Bight is considered to be one of the most pristine marine environments on earth - a sanctuary and whale nursery - recognised internationally for its animals including southern right whales and their calves, blue and humpback whales & Australian sea lions. Right now, it’s all at risk!
oil spills are irreversible
Australians love our coastline - we depend on it for our way of life; from food to recreation, to the massive fishing & tourism industries. The negative impacts of altering these ecosystems would be felt across the state & beyond
OPENING NEW FOSSIL FUEL BASINS IS DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE
Increasing oil and gas drilling activities are a threat to our climate and put our international commitments to the Paris agreement at risk.
