We grabbed a parking spot for our e-bike when it became available, for more space and visibility for our protest delivering a scientific report on #fracking in the #BeetalooBasin outside Wills Labor MP Peter Khalil’s office on Sydney Road, Coburg. Time to use the #WaterTrigger.

Labor and Greens strike deal to establish nature repair scheme in a major update of Australia's environmental laws.. Government also committed to supporting fast-tracked legislation to strengthen the water trigger so that it applies to all forms of unconventional gas, such as fracking for tight gas like in the Beetaloo Basin.

We delivered more Beetaloo postcards to Peter Khalil MP to urgently enhance the water trigger in Federal environmental laws.

Labor promised they would enhance the water trigger. The opportunity is here now with similar bills in House of Representatives and the Senate.

Tanya Plibersek needs to step up and prioritise updating water trigger ahead of all the other reforms in EPBC act.

While the Wills climate and environment advisory group meets with Peter Khalil MP at his office in Coburg, a few of us are outside saying:

“trick or treat?

10 new coal and gas projects
$11 billion p.a. Fossil fuel subsidies
Who is the real
Ghoul, Peter Khalil? “

We handed in a stack of Beetaloo postcards asking for an enhanced water trigger. Enhancing the Water trigger was a Labor election promise.

Labor promised an enhanced Water Trigger in 🇦🇺Federal Environment laws to close loopholes on water use for tight shale oil and gas #fracking. Simple bills to close the loophole moved yesterday in Australian parliament. Will Labor support? #Auspol #Australia #BeetalooBasin #WaterTrigger #EPBC #FossilFuel
