Oil and gas is such a contentious issue at the moment in Australia’s North West. Many are for and many are against the development of the a LNG plant 60kms north of Broome. If this goes ahead we will see unimaginable changes in the landscape, community and environment in the next 5-10 years in the Kimberley region.
In the meantime, we are faced with the negative side of oil developments with the reality of the oil spill in the Timor Sea off the Kimberley coast. This has been leaking 300-400 barrels of oil per day for the last 9 weeks!! You just cannot begin to imagine what the damaging effects will be, yet we are hearing very little about such an environmental disaster.
