Labor party delegates from across the Northern Territory convened at the weekend for the first time since 2019 for the 2022 Territory Labor conference, held at Charles Darwin University. NT Labor Environment Action Network executive Rowan Hayward said the motions were passed unanimously. Millions of dollars of subsidies have been poured into the industry in a bid to accelerate gas production.

Fraking is pure environmental vandalism.

Not surprising that Territory Labor leadership are happy to allow and facilitate environmental rape when the person who ran the party for a decade was found guilty of raping his own family member. That's just one example of the morality disconnect.

Why don't some of these characters take the easy trip to the Queensland gas fields and have a look at the real experience with hydraulic fracturing in Australia. Talk to the Queensland Gas Commission. It's not the same as the poorly regulated American system.

The moratorium on fracking, in place since 2019, will be scrapped on Thursday, giving the green light for companies to seek planning permission to drill for shale gas in the UK.

fracking would ruin our water table particularly in QLD The wells would be leaking methane for decades It would generate earthquake like in Texas n Oklahoma Where do they flush the salty water? do it offshore

That should help our economy and energy prices...🙄👎

Why , there’s 30years + of gas resources in Bass Strait

Cause & effect. 1 million electric vehicles in California ~10kWh each would replenish a typical days’ usage (-30mi). That’s ~10 GWh, or about 1 days’ worth of Hoover Dam output. California’s grid operator has declared an Energy Emergency Alert effective today from 5pm to 9pm.
