Ban fracking in the Northern Territory
Shale gas fracking is a disaster for:
◦ Water: The NT is connected by one water table. When that water is polluted by the dangerous fracking process, all of our water is poisoned.
◦ Country: Our deserts, springs, plains, and bushland are too precious to risk with dangerous fracking wells. It’ll poison groundwater, pollute the air, destroy sacred sites, and change our seasons.
◦ Health: Fracking poisons water and land, and emits toxic fumes into the air. States across the world have banned fracking because it makes people sick.
Stand together to ban fracking in the Northern Territory
There is widespread opposition to fracking from many Aboriginal communities, station owners, pastoralists, and the broader public. People from all across the NT are coming together and will do whatever it takes to protect their land, water and ways of life from being poisoned by dangerous fracked shale gas. Tell the Chief Minister Gunner to ban fracking today.
