Frack Free NT

Thinks of the short term gains say the frackers, but they're no match for people power who know what's really important. #WaterIsLife #BanFracking

From across the Northern Territory, Traditional Owners have spent the last 6 months mapping water across the Roper River region. The second largest river in the NT, stretching across an 81,000 square kilometre catchment. (1/3)

Tamboran Resources plans to destroy water, country, and our climate with their dangerous fracking gasfields While Traditional Owners are face to face with Tamboran at their AGM, you can be in their inbox backing them in getup.to/qqK2BiEZ5HA1ji8

The Central Australian Frack Free Alliance has held a rally outside the NT Supreme Court this morning before their challenge against the NT Gov's approval of Tamboran's 12 frack well project gets underway @EDOLawyers

Correction: Di Newman!

CAFFA members Heather McIntyre and Do Newman tell the story of CAFFA's decade long campaign and thank the crowd for their solidarity.

We’re at the front of the NT Supreme Court, where people have travelled from the desert to challenge Beetaloo fracker Tamboran’s approvals on climate grounds. Fracking the Beetaloo could generate 1.2 BILLION tonnes of emissions, increasing Australia’s emissions by 11%.

The government has to understand that no means no and Water is Life says Chris Tomlins, Arrerente and Walpiri man.

We eant to stop fracking so we can have a future says Adam Gaston, Jilkminggan man. Climate change is already impacting us. #NoFracking

Central Australian Frack Free Alliance’s day in the NT Supreme Court is here! A determined, inspiring group of citizens have made the long trip to Darwin, we’re with them in spirit today. Go well CAFFA and @EDO_NT!

CAFFA Court Case Rally begins with a Welcome to Larrakia Country from Larrakia Elder Donna Jackson. Donna calls on us all to fight climate change that is impacting Country #NoFracking

As the Central Australian Frack Free Alliance gathers at the NT Supreme Court on Larrakia Country, our families and community face an apocalyptic bush fire situation in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. We say BAN Fracking: No More Fuel on the Fires!

8AM TODAY, DARWIN: Join citizens from the Central Desert on the steps of the NT Supreme Court. They've travelled from Mparntwe/Alice Springs to challenge the NT Govt's granting of a drilling licence to Texan frackers Tamboran: alec.org.au/caffa_court_ca…

The community has been barricaded out of the NT Resources week conference, with cops crawling everywhere. Tickets cost $2600. Inside are the gas executives, politicians and bureaucrats responsible for sacrificing the NT’s future to mass fossil fuel expansion.

After 2 days of travel this NT delegation have arrived in Canberra. As a full scale fracking looms on the Horizon, we need the federal government to step in & protect our precious water and we will be telling them that strongly in meetings and through music over the coming days.

Four of the five Middle Arm jetties will be used for gas industries. Middle Arm is a fossil fuel project - one that will unleash 1.4 billion tonnes of carbon emissions - and it must not go ahead. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Santos’ proposed CCS facility in Timor Leste waters will provide the justification for multiple new fossil fuel developments in the NT - including fracking the Beetaloo and the toxic Barossa field. The Govt’s deep-sea dumping bill makes it legal. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environme…

Tamboran resources claimed that gas production in the Beetaloo will be the ‘single largest emissions reduction project in Australia’. This is just not true. It is physically not possible to reduce emissions while increasing emissions. @pollyjhemming #auspol

The Albanese Govt has snookered itself and finally been forced to admit that its $1.5b subsidy for Middle Arm is to enable gas expansion. It’s a fossil fuel subsidy. Great analysis by @adamlmorton, following a stellar investigation by @_LisaMCox theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

First time they've openly confessed that the $1.5 billion for Darwin's Middle Arm is for expanding the gas industry. More fossil fuels are good for the climate now yay
