Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster.
Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.

Just watched Seaspiracy on Netflix. I learned many things like there is no such thing as sustainable fishing, there is no dolphin-safe tuna and that most of the ocean's plastic waste is as a result of the fishing industry.

Along with releasing 4 billion tonnes of emissions, this decision will result in $215 billion worth of gas given away royalty-free. #auspol
