Fracking is dangerous: it’s a risky process of pressure injecting millions of litres of water and toxic chemicals into the ground to release gas, fuelling the climate crisis. Fracking in the NT’s Beetaloo basin would set off a carbon bomb that our climate and communities can’t afford. Our communities deserve better. The NT will feel this first and worst - heat waves, water shortages and more extreme flooding could force many remote communities off their country, and make large parts of the NT unliveable.
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has the power to put a stop to Tamboran’s fracking plans - but she won’t act without pressure from the community.
