WA Labor today reaffirmed its commitment to action on climate change, gas fracking, renewable energy, and biodiversity protection laws, as hundreds of community members rallied outside the WA Labor Conference to support a Frack Free Future for WA.

Western Australia’s peak conservation group has called on the McGowan Government to ensure that WA taxpayers are not subsidising the gas fracking industry, and to redirect incentives to renewable energy development.

According to the recently released Australian Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Science Survey, 7 out of 10 Australians are opposed to fracking.
