#abc730 ran a story tonight on ExxonMobil & Woodside’s plan to cut 8 old oil rigs in the Bass Strait, leaving 15,000 tonnes of steel structures towering from the sea floor and into the ocean above.

[Pete Milne @PeteMilne4]

Regulator @nopsema has slammed @WoodsideEnergy for poor planning after a string of preventable incidents on three decommissioning projects off the WA and Victorian coasts. https://t.co/mc1HbF0VEI

@gasugasu1984 Also no John Butler

[Pete Milne @PeteMilne4]

Gas is seeping from at least 13 locations on the seabed near @SantosLtd facilities around Varanus Island off the Pilbara coast, but the $25 billion company is not answering questions.

Pulling this out of the archives today as Victoria takes yet more really important steps to get away from polluting fossil gas. Credit to all who’ve played a role over the years. https://t.co/CBJJAdXn4n

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

@David_Ritter @PeteMilne4 And on the other side of the country, around the same time as this accident, Woodside accidentally lots hundreds of kilos of plastic into the ocean along Victoria’s coastline.

On the day of its fiery AGM, @WoodsideEnergy spilled 16,000 litres of oil into the Indian Ocean north of Ningaloo.
It also thinks a damaging oil spill from its drilling near Scott Reef for Browse gas is "only a mere theoretical possibility."

Your daily reminder the offshore oil and gas industry is untrustworthy, unreliable and doesn’t give two hoots about the environment or workers. New environment Minister Murray Watt must reject another 50 years of Woodside north west shelf gas & destruction https://t.co/ffO3PVnXfr

[Cam_Walker @Cam_Walker]

This time last year we got this story up in The Age/ SMH. A year on we still can't get the VIC Environment minister interested in the ecological collapse of an entire ecosystem.

Its happening on our watch. Climate change in real time.

Is the find out part of the saying?

[bird facts @rippinghottakes]

Labor’s attempt to bring on all of their legislation for a vote today was just defeated 33-34.

David Pocock followed through on his threat to vote against the government unless Labor reversed their decision to scrap their deal with the Greens to pass environmental legislation.

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

Well jeeze. Labor is serious about this populist, moral panic, policy train wreck bull shit hey?

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

@rippinghottakes Any thoughts on what council results might suggest for Greens chances in Wills?

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

@RoyceRk2 Woohoo!! Nicely done.

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

Shocked that an energy giant would try to squib on cleaning up all their mess after they’ve made billions in profit? At every turn these rapacious corporates show contempt for the social/environmental licences that allow them to extract vast wealth #auspol https://t.co/ZVLkVOtnoE

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

ExxonMobil’s attempt to dump old oil rigs in the Bass Strait turns out to be bad for the ocean & sea life, dangerous for workers and also in breach of the International Law of the Sea that Australia relies on each and every day. https://t.co/66nofHyyQw

[RestorePedder @RestorePedder]

Vale Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick.

A dearly loved educator, academic and
courageous advocate for nature.

He was committed to restoring Lake Pedder and
provided much of the scientific evidence to underpin
the case for restoration.

The world is greater for having had him in it.

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

@RoyceRk2 Nice one Royce!

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

I suggest we join forces and don’t let them get away with it. ✍️👇

It is so great to see @RoyceRk2 exposes yet another tactic in the oil & gas industry play book: speculative carbon pollution dumping proposals to dodge and delay cleaning up the ocean trash this industry has already created on a mammoth scale.

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

@MaritimeUnionAU CCS doesn’t stack up and the Australian Government shouldn’t let oil and gas companies use it to wipe liabilities from their books and risk clean up cost landing back with the Australian government and public.

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

Oil & gas companies are trying to use speculative carbon pollution dumping to delay and dodge their clean up. @RoyceRk2 puts the pieces together in https://t.co/famw57vaN5

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

In August this year, a coalition of environment organisations, supported by @MaritimeUnionAU, travelled to Canberra to demand Australian politicians, policy makers and regulators actually make oil and gas companies clean up their mess.

[Wilderness Society @Wilderness_Aus]

📢 Today the Wilderness Society was at Parliament House with @AustMarConsSoc @GreenpeaceAP @FoEAustralia @EnviroCentreNT @ConservationWA & @MaritimeUnionAU to issue a Statement of Concern about the alarming failure to regulate offshore #OilandGas clean-up in Australia's oceans.
