F for Fail

Call Chief Minister Michael Gunner today and tell him this new legal analysis revealing the failure to implement Pepper recommendations means the only path forward is to ban fracking.

Call (08) 8936 5500

The phone will be answered by an office assistant or adviser.  Please be polite and ask them to take down your name and address and pass on your message to the Chief Minister

Here are some key talking points:

  • A legal review by EDO released late last week shows that just 27% of the fracking inquiry’s recommendations have been implemented, and of those the Government claims it has completed, 40% haven’t been done properly.
  • The Gunner Government promised to implement all the recommendations in full, but they have failed to do so.
  • Justice Pepper said fracking could only proceed if all recommendations were properly implemented.
  • The Fracking Inquiry now looks like a smokescreen designed to allow the gas industry to roll across the Territory.  Given the Government has failed to meet the requirements, the only valid path forward now is to ban fracking.

The government has failed Territorians on fracking, with new legal analysis showing only 27% of Justice Rachel Pepper’s recommendations from the 2018 fracking inquiry have been implemented.

You can read a summary of the analysis from EDO and Earth Justice here.

As you’ll see, even the recommendations the Government claims to have completed haven’t been done properly.

Fracking puts at risk water, land, culture and climate in the Northern Territory. 

Given Gunner has failed to deliver on the Pepper recommendations, after 4 long years in which to do so, the only way to protect the Territory now is to ban fracking altogether.

    Happy to add my voice but not by call as I am not well at present. Would love to share on Fb. This is shameful. Another example of how the government lets us down and rides roughshod over wishes of the people and needs of the environment.

    I called Gunner’s office and voiced my concerns (based on the information I read in this email) and also reiterated the fact that the majority of Territorians, myself included, called for a total ban on fracking and will not be satisfied until that happens.
