On Sunday September 29th, we’ll aim to survey every house in the suburb of South Fremantle, part of Water Minister Simone McGurk's electorate. Sign up now to be part of an historic action that Minister McGurk will find impossible to ignore.
The iconic Kimberley region is under threat of fracking.
Texan oil and gas company Black Mountain plans to drill 20 new gas wells, frack them up to 70 times, using up to 100 million litres of water per well, and a cocktail of poisonous chemicals. This would just be the beginning.
The first oil and gas fields opening in the heart of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River catchment could proliferate to tens of thousands of wells, each requiring 100 million litres of water and tonnes of chemicals forced through pipes at extreme pressures to shatter rocks to release fossil fuels.
Kimberley locals have been holding back this industry for over 10 years. But now they need our help to get fracking banned permanently.
So now it’s our turn. On September 29th, a hundred volunteers from across Perth will go door to door with a survey asking the views of Fremantle voters. Will you join us for this huge effort?
There are over 1500 houses in South Fremantle, so 100 volunteers are needed to make this historic day a success. That’s why we’re asking you to take part. Volunteers from groups like Environs Kimberley, Lock the Gate Alliance, Go Beyond Gas and the Conservation Council of WA are all pitching in. Even musician John Butler will be joining us on the day!
The most important people that the Water Minister could hear from are her own constituents, the people of Fremantle.
Let’s show Simone McGurk that Fremantle wants to protect our land, water and climate from gas fracking. Sign up below!
No experience is necessary - we will be briefing you, providing you with materials and pairing people up with an experienced team leader! We'll finish before 1 with a debrief and lunch!
