We warmly welcome @OBEOrganic’s strong public opposition to new oil and gas projects on the Channel Country rivers and floodplains of the Lake Eyre Basin.

It's long passed time the @AnnastaciaMP Govt protected these pristine rivers from oil and gas.

Pastoralists and conservationists are fed up with the @AnnastaciaMP government's endless excuses and delays on Channel Country protections.

Even the LNP are calling it out.

Time to get on with the job Premier. Release the RIS and deliver the protections.

This is a great story about why our state forests and national parks are so important for our future food and economic security.

The Lake Eyre Basin and it's globally significant rivers are under threat and overlooked by state and national governments.
