A Dutton government would mean more destruction, more pollution and more wildlife extinctions. “Dutton has launched a Trump-like attack on the people that protect and defend nature. We all have a stake in the health of our environment and his plan to lock communities out of legal avenues is a threat to our democracy and the health of the planet.
“Mr Dutton is doing the bidding of the fossil fuel companies and his billionaire mates like Gina Rinehart. When Gina says “drill baby drill”, it’s clear Peter Dutton says “how far?” “The North-West Shelf project extension is not in our national interest. Woodside’s gas greed would be an environmental disaster and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek should have rejected it well before the upcoming Federal Election.
“This extension would unleash billions of tonnes of carbon pollution out to 2070, threatening cultural heritage at Murujuga and pristine ecosystems like Scott Reef, home to 33 threatened species like the green sea turtle and the pygmy blue whale. Heavy shipping and drilling will also jeopardise whale migration pathways. “This is why we need the Greens in Parliament.
We will keep Dutton out and push Labor to stop approving new coal and gas projects.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
