As soon as this Friday 19 December 2008, Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett is likely to announce a site for a major industrial development on the Kimberley coast - on land he is prepared to forcibly remove from Traditional Owners, through compulsory acquisition laws.
With no further negotiations or scientific research, a 1000ha slice of Kimberley coast will be given over to liquified natural gas (LNG) industrial development - threatening majestic humpback whales and numerous endangered species including dugong and flatback turtles.
Public protest rallies in Perth, Broome and near the proposed industrial sites demonstrate that WA and local residents do not support the Premier’s plan. The Premier has already received thousands of postcards and emails from across Australia opposing industrialisation of the Kimberley.
The Kimberley urgently needs your support now.
It is time to let Woodside Ltd - the major Australian fossil fuel company leading the charge to industrialise the Kimberley coast - know that the people of Australia do not want to see the iconic Kimberley’s natural environment sacrificed to short-sighted industrial development.
Commercial interests and Government cannot be allowed to think that the public does not care about the Kimberley. There is no need for fast-tracking industrialisation of the Kimberley.
By supporting – publicly or behind the scenes - Premier Barnett’s Kimberley Hub land grab, Woodside Ltd are saying it is ok to railroad Traditional Owners and effectively ignore our precious environment.
There are other options.
Sign this online action today and urge Woodside and the Barnett Government to work with Traditional Owners, scientists, tourism and other local industry, and environmental groups to develop and implement a sensible and comprehensive conservation plan for the Kimberley – one that will protect the natural and cultural heritage of the region.
If development of Browse Basin gas goes ahead it could be processed at sites with established industrial infrastructure in the Pilbara region (but not the Burrup Peninsula), or via floating LNG technology currently under development.

WA’s Kimberley region is remote and untouched - one of our last unspoiled wilderness areas.
Incredibly, the far north-west Kimberley sub-region is the only part of Western Australia - and one of very few in Australia - that appears to have retained its complete native animal species diversity without extinction since European settlement.
But plans for massive industrialisation by mining giants such as Norsk Hydro and Rio Tinto threaten to fragment and degrade this stunning landscape, which includes mound springs, ‘dry’ rainforest patches, vine thickets, mighty rivers, and savannah woodlands.
Furthermore, the Kimberley’s role as a valuable carbon store will be diminished, and the project will be a massive carbon polluter.
There is still hope.
With your support we can persuade the new WA government to adopt a sustainable plan for the Kimberley - one that protects the region’s unique natural and cultural values and our climate and also fully addresses Indigenous rights and interests.
Please help us ensure that the new WA government protects the Kimberley by making a donation today.
Your generous donation will enable us to keep the pressure on the state and federal governments as well as corporations to change their ‘development at all costs’ approach.
PS: The Kimberley is under threat like never before. By donating today, you can help protect the Kimberley’s rainforests, savannah woodlands and oceans, along with the cultural values of a truly unique area. Thank you
Our campaign to ‘Save the Net’ is gaining momentum faster than all expectations, as the Government’s ill-considered plans to slow down and censor the internet is “facing a major backlash”, according to media reports.1
Their internet censorship proposal goes further than any other democracy - making the internet up to 87% slower, more expensive, accidentally blocking up to one in 12 legitimate sites, and missing the vast majority of inappropriate content.
Only a massive public outcry will make the Government see sense on this issue. Please take a moment to sign this important petition:
More than 55,000 fellow Australians have already signed the petition to Communications Minister Senator Conroy, against “draconian government restrictions on the internet that will hold back the digital economy and miss the vast majority of unwanted content.”
His plan has even been slammed by children’s welfare groups, who say the filter is “fundamentally flawed” and simply will not work. Join children’s welfare groups, internet providers, consumers, engineers, network administrators, and 55,000 everyday Australians in defence of our freedoms and internet:
At a time of financial crisis, the Government should not be introducing measures that will hamper our economy for no real benefit to the protection of the community from material that is already illegal.
Stand up in defence of our rights to prevent Australia joining Iran, China, Saudi Arabia and Burma in an undemocratic club of governments who view the internet as a threat.
Thanks for being part of the solution,
The GetUp team

Addicted to android drugs not yet synthesized.
The prices of Jet have gone way up
Everywhere we’ve been to we were already there.

Follow our example.
Milions can be saved today, if we all just stopped caring for each other.
Take government prescribed meds regularly.
Always feel good about yourself and have a sense of well-being.
Don’t fear the mutants, they are your friends.
Come, and in the fire of spring, your winter garment of repentance fling.

Greets after a long hiatus as Delay relocated from Melbourne to Berlin. Fresh tunes all the way in this mix featuring a couple of new discs. Highly recommended is the debut album from CLP (Chris De Luca of Funkstoerung & Phon.o). A great mix of messed up hip hop and club sounds with fresh emcees to boot. Also right up there is Brisbane’s Monster Zoku Onsomb. Obscure sounding name with an album of super fresh and very twisted take on 50’s schlock horror movies, rave, jungle, techno and psychobilly. An absolute must for the adventurous listener and dancer. Also great mew stuff from Kid 606, Luke’s Anger and Otto Von Shirac.
