Stop the pipeline. Stop Beetaloo.

Stop the pipeline. Stop Beetaloo.

The gas industry’s next move is to carve a 1,500km pipeline through the Channel Country, the heart of the Lake Eyre Basin, to unlock fracking in the NT’s Beetaloo. Once the pipeline is in, up to 6,000 fracking wells into ancient aquifers follow, and the Beetaloo carbon bomb goes off.

We have a message for Environment Minister Murray Watt: look before you leap. Require a full environmental impact statement for the Beetaloo fracked gas pipeline. 

No pipeline, no Beetaloo, no carbon bomb.

No pipeline, no Beetaloo, no carbon bomb.

The best time to stop an oil or gas project is before it starts. Together, we helped protect the Channel Country’s rivers from new oil and gas. We stopped the gas hub at James Price Point and deep sea drilling in the Great Australian Bight. 

Not one metre of this pipeline has been built. United, we can keep it that way.

Add your name and tell Murray Watt to keep fracked gas out of the Channel Country—he has the power to say no.

Stop the Beetaloo pipeline from carving up Channel Country. Add your name today!

Dear Environment MInister Watt,

We are calling on you to require a full environmental impact statement for the Beetaloo fracked gas pipeline through Channel Country.

The assessment should include Channel Country rivers and floodplains, threatened species, Beetaloo emissions and cultural heritage.

This 1,500km pipeline through the Channel Country, the heart of the Lake Eyre Basin, would unlock fracking in the NT’s Beetaloo. 

Beetaloo fracking could unleash up to 1.2 billion tonnes of climate pollution, making it one of the most polluting projects in the country. Stopping new gas has never mattered more for the generations to come.

Beetaloo fracking would drill up to 6,000 wells through an ancient aquifer that feeds Mataranka Hot Springs and the Roper River. It risks draining and poisoning water that wildlife and communities depend on. 

Queenslanders have made their views on fossil fuels and Channel Country clear—these rivers and floodplains are too precious to risk for gas. More than 21,000 people demonstrated that this was no place for oil and gas forcing the Queensland government to ban fracking in the region. 

Minister Watt: No pipeline. No Beetaloo.
