Watch how quickly this state forest in Queensland becomes a gasfield. We cannot allow this to happen to the #Pilliga

Tuesday’s 7:30 is a must watch on future of Lake Eyre Basin

The floodplains of Qld’s Channel Country rivers -Cooper Creek- are no place for gas fields.

⁦@AnnastaciaMP⁩ government must come good on promise to protect. https://t.co/JQgbzVUK3Z

“The life after the floods is what amazes me the most. You can go from this dry, almost bare dirt, to vibrant green grasses all come back and the bird life booms again, and even people's spirits lift again.” – Joshua Gorringe, Mithika Aboriginal Corporation #abc730

#BREAKING: Tiwi Traditional Owner Dennis Tipakalippa has won his landmark case over Santos’ approvals to drill precious Tiwi Sea Country!

The Federal Court of Australia has found that Santos failed to consult Traditional Owners as required.

[Western Rivers Alliance @WestQldRivers]

It's never been a more important time to join Traditional Owners, graziers, and environmental scientists and call on the government to end new oil and gas permits in the Lake Eyre Basin. #TooPreciousToFrack

Great quote from ⁦@WestQldRivers⁩ coordinator ⁦@RileyRocco1⁩ in the Oz today

“These are some of the world’s last free flowing rivers and their delicate floodplains are no place for gas fields”

In southwest Qld near the SA border, the Cooper Creek is transformed by rain that fell further north into an epic wetland. Wangkumara Country.

More of a spectacular work of art than a satellite image: vast floodwaters spreading through braided rivulets in central Australia's aptly named Channel Country. 🎨🛰️

Gas has become the simple solution to complex problems. @southey70 and I travelled more than 4000km through QLD’s gas country and found divided towns, broken promises, sinkholes, cleared forests and towns in hope of real investment. @theage @smh https://t.co/GlnM6SGsPB

"We don't want any infrastructure or fracking or drilling or anything like that on the floodplain," Mr Gorringe said.
