A critical chance to ban fracking in the Kimberley

We need your help! This coming weekend Saturday (8 Nov) WA Labor representatives will be meeting in Fremantle to vote on a motion to ban fracking at their biannual conference.

This is a critical opportunity for us to change the government's policy and secure a permanent fracking ban in the Kimberley. We have been working towards this point for years and we wouldn’t be here without your help.

We have created this petition to help put pressure on your local Labor member (if you're in a Labor seat) to support and lobby for a ban on fracking. This is a critical opportunity to ask members to do everything they can to pass this motion.

Based on your postcode it will email this letter to your local Labor member (feel free to personalise it). After filling out your details please share this on your social media and text it to your friends. We need to continue send a strong message to WA Labor that we want to ban fracking in the Kimberley.

Together we can achieve a ban on fracking!

Labor's chance to ban fracking in the Kimberley

Send a message to your Labor MP to support a ban on fracking!

The Kimberley remains one of Western Australia's great unspoilt treasures, hosting one of the largest unspoilt tropical woodlands left in the world, and vast unpolluted wetlands and rivers which act as the lifeblood of the region.
Yet the Kimberley is part of the 2% of Western Australia that is open to unnecessary risks of fracking for unconventional gas.
As my local Labor representative, I'm calling on you to act on this critical opportunity to help get a motion passed for a ban on fracking at the upcoming Labor Conference happening (8 Nov) in Fremantle.
There is an imminent threat of fracking in the Kimberley, as right now a Texan fracking company, Black Mountain Energy, has an application sitting with the WA EPA, and their recommendation could be released any day now. This Texan company awaits approval for their proposed 20 drilling and fracking wells in the West Kimberley. If approved by the WA Labor Government, this would mark the beginning of the industrialisation of the Kimberley.
I'm calling on you to:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
Lobby within the Labor Party to help pass the motion to ban fracking at the upcoming Labor Conference (8 Nov). 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Support and lobby other key members to reject Black Mountain Energy’s current 20-well fracking proposal for the West Kimberley, located near the heart of the National Heritage-listed Martuwarra Fitzroy River.</li>
</ul>
I will be following this issue closely and await your public response to these points.
