Group Leading this Campaign: Frack Free Kimberley

Campaign Target Type:

Who this Campaign is Targeting: WA State Government

Main Issue of the Campaign:

Campaign Ran From: 2015 to 2021

Campaign Outcome:

Outcome Evidence: As stated on ABC website 'The Government announced it was lifting its moratorium on fracking in November 2018 at the conclusion of the WA scientific inquiry, which found fracking posed a low risk to human health and the environment. But even with the moratorium lifted, fracking is not permitted in Western Australia until the code of conduct and traditional owner and private landowner consent requirements can be implemented.' (sourced 6/3/2022 from https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-12/wa-fracking-plan-delayed-until-after-state-election/12333148). Thus the outcome is partially successful, as while a full ban has not been achieved once the requirements are implemented on 2% of land will be able to be fracked - 'The WA Government has lifted its moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, but has promised 98 per cent of the state will remain "frack free".'
