"A veil of secrecy hangs over the conditions that will apply to Woodside Energy’s massive gas export project on the Burrup Peninsula in WA – the kind of secrecy that corporate power can command," writes @stephenlongaus.bsky.social in @thenewdaily.bsky.social.

The ancient Indigenous rock art on WA’s Burrup Peninsula has been deservedly listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Register.

But the spectacular Murujuga petroglyphs remain under threat.

Scientific evidence reveals that pollution from Woodside's gas export hub has seriously damaged the engravings.

Tanya Plibersek could revolt, do the right thing and can Woodside’s Burrup bomb. What an opportunity not to fail future generations.

Approving Woodside’s Burrup Hub means signing off on 6.1 billion tonnes of CO2 - that’s 13x Australia’s annual emissions.

It would undo all our climate efforts and lock in fossil fuels until 2070. Labor, this isn’t leadership—it’s climate sabotage. #auspol #StopBurrupHub

"It is actually quite astounding. The first time I went and actually saw some of the petroglyphs...I was completely blown away."

Great discussion about Murujuga on ABC's Late Night Live with Marian Wilkinson!

Who remembers the No Dams protests from the early ‘80’s?
We are going to need to do similar with the Burrup Peninsula. Chain ourselves to equipment, destroy other resources, block roads, get arrested, then get arrested again. March on Canberra and drag politicians out to face their employers.

The North West shelf decision will be the Gov’s first test on climate: will they approve the dirty gas carbon bomb of Woodside's Burrup Hub extension? You can't protect the climate or nature by approving a project that would use 91% of the government's net zero 2050 carbon budget.

And yet you and your government ruled out a climate trigger and allowed the Burrup Hub? Practice what you preach!

Breaking: The Supreme Court of Western Australia has thrown out Woodside's civil claim against activists associated with Disrupt Burrup Hub, a legal action labelled a SLAPP Suit by the activists and observers. The court found Woodside failed to make out its claim.

Absolutely thrilled for my client Mardathoonera woman and Murujuga Traditional Custodian Raelene Cooper who today won her Federal Court case against the Environment Minister.

All that remains is for Murray Watt to make his s10 declaration protecting Murujuga.
