🌏 A NEW GOVERNMENT—SAME OLD GAS?
Australia just voted for change. But while Labor rides a wave of support for climate action, Woodside Energy charges ahead with the Scarborough gas project—a fossil fuel monster expected to pump out 1.3 BILLION tonnes of emissions over its lifetime. That’s more than Australia emits in an entire year.
And it’s happening right next to Murujuga, a sacred cultural site with over a million ancient rock carvings—some over 50,000 years old. Industrial emissions already threaten this priceless heritage, and now Woodside wants to ramp things up.
Labor promised climate leadership. But actions speak louder than speeches.
The previous government greenlit this project. Now it’s on Labor to draw the line.
Rejecting Scarborough would show Australia—and the world—that we’re serious about protecting both our environment and our oldest living culture.
Backing it? That would be business as usual, wrapped in green spin.
You can’t claim to fight climate change while approving a carbon bomb.
You can’t protect culture while sacrificing the world’s oldest outdoor art gallery for profit.
The Practical Realist Party demands:
– The immediate suspension of Scarborough gas approvals
– A parliamentary inquiry into cultural and climate impacts
– A fast-tracked transition plan to renewables and storage
We voted for a future. Not another fossil fuel fix.
Hey Labor—don’t betray the mandate. Reject Scarborough. Lead the way.
