"Anthony Albanese's claim that more fossil gas is needed for the energy transition is unscientific nonsense - it is gas industry propaganda raised to the level of state policy – and reflects a stampede toward more fossil fuels rather than a transition away."

Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export project is a disaster on five fronts:
🟠 Driving up WA energy prices
🟠 Threatening WA's domestic gas reserves
🟠 Paying even fewer royalties - down to just 0.6% of WA revenue in 2027-28
🟠 Corroding Murujuga rock art
🟠 Wrecking the climate
