A group of Tangney residents from Bicton to Cannington held a rally outside Tangney MP Sam Lim’s office on Wednesday, warning about an expansion of Woodside’s gas hub and the benefits of renewable energy.
The Tangney Climate Action Group appeared as climate emergency first responders wearing high viz and hard hats, bearing positive climate action ideas and warning of the dangers of new gas projects.
Their action coincided with Australia’s inaugural Extreme Heat Awareness Day. The group says heat waves kill more Australians than any other weather event and are increasing in frequency and severity as fossil fuel emissions continue to rise.
Rising emissions are a key concern for TCAG as the final decision on Woodside’s gas hub expansion hangs in the balance.
Just before Christmas, WA environment minister Reece Whitby approved Woodside’s gas hub extension to 2070 and federal environment minister Tanya Plibersek is to make a final decision on its expansion.
