Taking Woodside to court was a huge risk for a small NFP like ours, but we knew we had to try. Sadly, Australia’s environmental laws are not fit for purpose & we lost the case. We now have to pay 80k in legal costs. Please share + donate if you can:

A LNG tank near Darwin has been leaking methane for nearly 20 years. Santos & multiple regulators knew, but kept the public in the dark. The leak poses unacceptable risks to the environment, climate & the health of the community. Santos must fix it now.

Documents reveal the scale of carbon pollution leaking from a Darwin LNG tank was like adding 8,300 new cars to the road every year. It is about to be filled again.

New research estimates that traffic pollution causes 1,800+ premature deaths in Australia each year - more than our annual road toll. DEA’s A/Prof Vicki Kotsirilos says it’s time for a public information campaign on the harms caused by traffic pollution.

Vehicle emissions may contribute to more than 1,800 premature deaths in Australia each year, according to the nation's first assessment of the health impact of traffic-related pollution.

Last Friday, the Federal Court ruled against DEA, meaning that Woodside and/or NOPSEMA can now pursue us for costs. This would be a heavy blow for a small not-for-profit like ours. That is why we urgently need your help. Please share & donate if you can:

“If we behave like NOPSEMA have, we wouldn’t be considered to be good doctors. We’d be considered to be tick and flick, six-minute medicine doctors,” - DEA Executive Director Dr Kate Wylie.

Court rules that regulator is not required under law to investigate gas company plans to reduce emissions on new projects even where they lack sufficient detail.
