Should US bauxite mining giant Alcoa be told to pack its bags and denied an opportunity to strip a further 11,500ha of Perth's Northern Jarrah Forest - a threat to our water supply and critically endangered species?
Our protest today at #Woodside's attempt to greenwash its contribution to coral bleaching by hosting an 'open day' at the WA Maritime Museum about marine conservation. instagram.com/p/DNcgTKuzMa2/…
Woodside was given 10 days to accept the conditions of the federal government's conditional approval of the North West Shelf, but it's been seven weeks. The lack of transparency is appalling.

A ridiculous article by @aaronpdoherty laying blame for the Trump meeting no-show at the feet of @AlboMP - ludicrous given the unhinged actions of #POTUS
@CxuAsx@StephenLongAus I think that's up to the opinions editor. In the end, it's not a commercial interest, it's an ideological position - she cares about climate and nature. It's an opinion piece, that's her opinion. BTW, I agree with her wholeheartedly.
@freocookster@StephenLongAus Whenever I write an OpEd I certainly disclose my background otherwise it just weakens the message of you fail to disclose.
Brilliant article by Carmen Lawrence, former premier of WA & federal Labor minister: Anthony Albanese’s gas project extension is not just a mistake, it’s a betrayal smh.com.au/environment/cl…
@CxuAsx@StephenLongAus No. There are plenty of people who care about climate and nature writing op eds. There are also plenty of people with a financial and/or political interest in mining, oil and gas writing op eds. People can draw their own conclusions.
@CxuAsx@StephenLongAus Jonathon, she's the former President of the Conservation Council of WA. You can update yourself on the current President and Board here: ccwa.org.au/board
I think when you write an OpEd it’s important to disclose all relevant positions.
Dr Lawrence is also Chair of the Conservation Council of Western Australia. This is far more relevant than saying she is an academic at the school of psychology.
Failure to disclose weakens the message.
