Many of Australia’s dirtiest gas expansions are planned for the NT and big polluters are about to start digging on land and at sea.

Traditional Owners need our help to pressure the Albanese Government to block handouts for these projects and call them in for assessment under our nature laws.

MC’d by Environment Centre Northern Territory's Executive Director Kirsty Howey, this town hall will bring together local climate and nature advocacy groups from across Naarm (Melbourne).

Let’s unite as people who care deeply about protecting our wonderful, natural world. Let’s raise our voices so they’re louder than those of the big gas polluters.

Come to the urgent community forum, listen to voices from the frontline of the climate crisis in the NT, and join us in calling on the Albanese Labor Government to protect Country and climate!

I'll be there

We look forward to seeing you there! For the protection of Country, water and our climate,
