While communities around the country are suffering from relentless climate impacts like floods, fires, heatwaves and droughts, big corporations are lining up to open up risky new fossil fuel projects across the country.
We can’t risk opening up new fossil fuel projects, yet Labor has announced that they’ll fund $1.9 billion to a huge industrial gas precinct in the NT called Middle Arm. Middle Arm will make it easier to process and export gas, and quickly lead to opening up the Beetaloo Basin for fracking.
Opening Middle Arm means fracking the NT. First Nations communities across Beetaloo and Barossa do not want gas expansion on their land and waters. With people across the continent backing this in, we can be a powerful moral voice calling for the government to scrap the plans for Middle Arm.
We’re demanding that Labor commits to:
With a massive grassroots network of young climate activists, local action groups nationwide, and volunteers with established relationships with MPs, we know with your support we can stop Middle Arm and projects like it across the country.
Will you stand with young people and demand the Albanese Government commits to a safe climate for all of us and deliver a real plan to get us there?
In Labor’s October 2022 Budget Update, they announced $1.9 billion for an industrial precinct called the Middle Arm. Located near Darwin, Middle Arm would include petrochemical processing and expanded gas export facilities.
According to environmental experts, Middle Arm’s gas export and processing infrastructure will help facilitate the opening of gas basins in the Beetaloo and Barossa. Gas extraction in these basins has faced strong opposition from Traditional Owners, and would release significant amounts of methane and CO2.
