The film is coming to the Victorian coastline! Thanks to .au there’ll be free screenings up and down the coast over the coming weeks. 🪸
This incredible film follows Tim Winton and as they travel to Scott Reef, a place full of exquisite and endangered marine biodiversity. Also a place Woodside Energy plan to sink 50 new gas wells, seismic blast and release 1.6 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere 😕

This campaign needs both WA state and Federal approval, so we will all need to play a part in stopping this monstrous project.

🎫 tickets are available here: https://www.marineconservation.org.au/category/offshore-oil-and-gas/ or via the link in our bio.

The Hollows Case – Warburton Environment v DEECA
Protecting Hollow-Bearing Trees in Court

Warburton Environment is taking the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) to the Federal Court to challenge the unlawful removal of hollow-bearing trees (HBTs) in Victoria’s State and National Parks under the guise of fire management.

These ancient trees provide critical habitat for endangered species such as the Leadbeater’s Possum and Southern Greater Glider. We believe DEECA’s operations are causing serious harm to these species, and that no valid exemption under the EPBC Act allows this destruction.

The trial begins Monday 1 September at 10:15am and is set down for 7 days.

We’d love your support — whether by joining us in court or donating to our legal campaign.

Come along:
Federal Court, 305 William Street, Melbourne
(Easy access via Flagstaff Station – please allow time for security screening)

From Ningaloo Reef in WA, down to the beaches of South Australia, and across to Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef, marine life is paying the price for our government’s inaction on climate change.

Rising sea temperatures are fuelling coral bleaching, algal blooms, and the collapse of ecosystems. Heartbreak does not quite cover it. As the Albanese government continues to approve new coal and gas projects, how can we expect that things will improve?

Right now, the Government has a once-in-a-generation chance to fix our broken nature protection laws.

National, enforceable laws that that stop unacceptable impacts on threatened plants, animals and places. Laws that are administered by an independent agency of experts - not a government with vested interests.

Our nature laws MUST consider the damage major gas and coal projects are doing to our reefs, forests and wildlife.

Because protecting nature, people and businesses is one and the same.
