From Gingin to Broome and beyond, vast areas of Western Australia are still covered in petroleum exploration licenses where fracking isn’t banned! Landholders and communities across WA are locking the gate to multinational companies wanting to develop shale and tight gas (or shale oil) across our land, water supply areas and iconic natural landscapes.
After years studying the health and environmental risks and harms, the state of Victoria, other countries around the world including Ireland, and states in the US including New York State rightly concluded that fracking is not safe and banned it. Hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies in the last 10 years have confirmed that fracking is dangerous and harmful. Fracking isn’t safe anywhere and must be stopped everywhere.Along with local, regional and national partners, we are working to educate people, build the movement and stop fracking. Join the movement today to help put an end to this destructive practice.
