5/5

This is especially true given we have the technology and ability to expand clean and affordable renewable energy projects that benefit people and planet alike.

4/5

We believe it’s completely wrong to open up new areas for petroleum or other dirty fossil fuels during the climate crisis and the cost of living crisis and therefore shouldn't go ahead ❌

3/5

The survey consists of only 3 questions and asks how the release of the areas (The Bay of Islands and Gippsland) may impact you, the community or the environment, and also asks if you have any ideas that would minimise the impact.

2/5

Petroleum exploration permit tender Have your say on the upcoming tender for petroleum exploration permits in the Otway and Gippsland basins.

🚨🚨 Please take a few mins to stop the Victorian Government from opening state waters for petroleum exploration by completing their consultation survey today ⚠️ The survey closes tomorrow Tuesday 9th Sept ⚠️
