Despite approval from the State’s environmental watchdog last month, opposition to the development has been fierce.

Protesters have raised concerns about damage to the coastline, dinosaur footprints and marine life.

Today’s event was part of a national day of action against the development, which included a rally in Broome, a picnic in Melbourne and gatherings in Hobart and NSW.

Higgins said the huge crowd gathered at the Cottesloe Beach highlighted how many people were against the gas hub.

  1. Anyone who braved the 42 degree heat had to be fully committed and deserves all our thanks for doing so on behalf of all those who couldn't,for whatever reason.

    Thankyou and much respect.

  2. Strange as it may seem given our situation here,tomorrow marks 20 years since Paul Keating,then Prime Minister,made this speech on the Block in Redfern.

    You can listen to his speech here.
