Elders bring fracking plea to city folk

TEN Traditional Custodians of the Kimberley are hoping Perth people hear their stories as they fight fossil fuel encroachment on their country. 

The local launch of the Kimberley Voices for Country project by Frack Free WA features guest speakers and a short film series about the 10 custodians who are passionate about protecting their land amid the rollout of the gas industry. 

• Kimberley Traditional Custodian Pampila Hanson Boxer is featured in short films about their fight to preserve the region.

Guest speakers on the night include Nuriah Jadai, a Mangala Martu Traditional Custodian, and Martin Pritchard, Environs Kimberley acting CEO.

The launch comes amid the final stages of assessment for government approval of US-based firm Black Mountain Energy’s extensive plans for hydraulic fracturing gas wells throughout the Kimberley.

It’s on at Perth City Farm on November 25 at 6.30pm, RSVP via www.frackfreewa.org.au/kimberleyvoices
