An interim report on gas fracking released by a Northern Territory inquiry has identified a number of serious environment, health, and groundwater risks which should rule out the industry in Western Australia, according to the Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) and the Frack Free Future alliance.

Frack Free Future and WA’s peak environment body the Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) and are urging Premier McGowan to uphold Labor’s pre-election commitments on unconventional gas and fracking, and to resist pressure from Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison to abandon these policies as part of a GST deal.

After 12 painstaking months of surveying townsfolk door-to-door, Cape Conservation Group volunteers have established beyond a shred of doubt that Exmouth residents are totally opposed to unconventional onshore gas exploration on the North West Cape.
