The recently defeated former Premier of Western Australia Colin Barnett is working with Federal politicians to cover up their own energy policy incompetence, with his proposal to pipe gas from WA to the east coast – which would have enough gas if it didn’t export most of it.

The Frack Free Future campaign has congratulated premier-elect Mark McGowan on WA Labor’s landslide election victory, highlighting the important role public concern over fracking and unconventional gas played in the vote, and warning of the need to honour the party’s commitment to a statewide fracking moratorium.
