AMonkeyInSilk 🇺🇦🇵🇸Australian government has a tantrum after ignoring heritage and protection of indigenous sites as it supports the fossil fuel industry.

@amonkeyinsilk The interview this morn by Sally Sara on RN Brekkie with the actual lead scientist of this report, rocked me. Hitherto i had believed that the awful WA Premier, & Elbow, had wilfully mislead the public over the report's conclusions, but this morn the bloke himself said, plainly, unambiguously, that the local air quality is good, the current damage is likely historical not contemporary, & they believe that the art & the industry can in fact safely coexist.
I felt devastated to hear this, not only coz til now i had believed that the pollies had lied, but also coz i trusted as truth what i was hearing & reading from the opponents.
Ofc, the project remains an abomination wrt its carbon bomb, nothing at all ameliorates nor forgives that crime... it's just that i had also believed that the art destruction was another reason to reject & condemn the project.
I am a staunch leftie greenie, but i still demand that "my" peeps tell the truth!

I listened to the interview RN Breakfast interview.
His name is Ben Mullins he is the
Lead scientist on the Murujuga rock art monitoring project. He spoke about the local environment and not about greater damage the extraction may cause when the gas is used (overseas despite Albaneses rhetoric).
And this is what he said.
“Our findings to date…there may have been some [past] impact…at the moment air quality is very good”
“Need to confirm findings”
“Can’t completely rule out any impact”
Summary
Emissions need to be managed and monitoring needs to be ongoing now that approval has been given. He seemed a bit vague on how emissions can be managed, but in his defence that is not his area of expertise.
Good scientists don’t speak in absolutes. I got the impression he was defending the integrity of the science. But was not advocating for or against the ongoing extraction.
@amonkeyinsilk Excellent work, onya, & ta.
“Need to confirm findings”
“Can’t completely rule out any impact”
Aha, i missed that... & it's very important. What are the chances of the pro-gas pollies mentioning this important qualification... zilch, i expect.
seemed a bit vague on how emissions can be managed
We all know that the only fair-dinkum way is... leave the fossil fools in the ground.
