Join us at Festival Park from 5pm
Today I joined @Mon4Kooyong with 100 doctors from around 🇦🇺 to call on the Govt to withdraw $1.5B funding for the Middle Arm petrochemical hub on Darwin harbour.
Middle Arm will turn Darwin into a cancer alley and unlock the Beetaloo Basin to fracking.
Crowd of NT health professionals, parents and allies on the lawns of Parliament House, braving a a crisp Canberra morning to say #DoNoHarmStopMiddleArm.
Some context for today's rally in Canberra from @_LisaMCox.
@AlboMP breaking election promises, greenwashing climate wrecking projects and propping up gas barons from Texas with $1.5 billion dollars of Australian tax payers money.

Here in Parliament to call for health to be protected.
From fracking, climate boiling Beetaloo gas through to petrochemicals in Middle Arm, our children's health is being sacrificed for short term profits.#saynotobeetaloo@tanya_plibersek@AlboMP
Everyday Territorians are out in force this week. Whether it be discussions on Barossa, Beetaloo or Middle Arm, the message to Canberra is loud and clear:
No New Gas!!
#auspol#NoNewGas#Dontfracktheoutback
"When Santos drills a hole in the sea, they drill a hole in us."
So say Tiwi Island community leaders who joined us in parliament to discuss the historic Tipakalippa Federal court victory, Barossa gas and the devastating impacts Labor's sea dumping bill will have on sea country.
Proud of the Dr's, parents, environmentalists and trolls who are descending on Canberra this week to sound the alarm over Middle Arm. It's nice to have some actual representation down there. Thankyou @Mon4Kooyong & @DavidPocock for standing alongside us Territorians!
An NT doctor has prepared this sign ahead of 80 doctors coming down to Canberra next Tuesday to sound the alarm over Middle Arm.
It’s going to be a big day.
Doctors are taking a stand: for our kids’ health, we can’t afford to unleash a 1.4 billion tonne carbon bomb.
30 days of Binybara Camp!! Please support us by emailing Ross Jordan from DHA to tell him and the board that the community want their housing moved elsewhere. #saveleepoint#binybara
NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles' personal name-calling does a disservice to the children and grandchildren of the NT.
They're the reasons why doctors are concerned about the 1.4 mil tonne carbon bomb that would be unleashed if Middle Arm goes ahead.
Amy says it so simply and so well when she says “I’m here because if I didn’t come I would hate myself.” @tanya_plibersek it’s time to listen to the community and save Lee Point!
A lovely evening on the @BirdLifeTopEnd bird walk around Lee Point. We saw 35 different species! Including a lifer for me, the Australian Owlet-nightjar. Birds are so much better than bulldozers. #saveleepoint@tanya_plibersek
Extraordinary & dangerous for @NicoleManison to describe non-violent protesters as 'extremists'. Protest is a hallmark of our democracy & on this issue, they are providing a beacon & the government would do well to listen.
@leepointcamp is an amazing show of community solidarity and defiance. We are choosing critical habitat over crappy houses, cultural heritage over corporate profiteering. Stand with us to #saveleepoint#Binybara
