Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,

let them sleep.

This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
I you want to improve your mind that way,

sleep on.

I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.

If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,

and sleep.

A disabled hip-hop artist from the eastern states is the latest to join the ongoing protest against the Kimberley gas hub, chaining himself to a Woodside vehicle near the site.

Ollie Butterfield, 26, is usually wheelchair bound but has been able to climb under the vehicle where he has been sitting for several hours.

Broome police are on the scene and have issued the man with a move on notice but have not attempted to physically remove him.

Woodside May Delay Decision on Browse LNG Project Until 2013

“There’s a lot of work in front of us,” Coleman said today. “We’d rather not rush to the finish line and not have any breath left. These are big decisions.”

Parallels to what we have been experiencing for several months in Broome because of our efforts to protect Country, Community and Cultural Heritage. Many respected long term Broome locals have been arrested, pulled over, searched, bullied, pulled in to be questioned on highly dubious circumstances. Many people have be arrested, convicted or fined on video evidence provided to the police on a daily basis by Woodside’s private corporate mercenaries Hostile/Lockforce Services.



Woodside with the state government’s unlimited support has turned our community into a bunch of criminals with trumped up charges and highly questionable underlining motives and has reaped thousands and thousands of dollars for the state coffers in fines and infringement notices, court costs and trials.

People have been picked up in Country, told they are under arrest, taken back into town in paddy wagons, held for several hours only to be told they are un-arrested and left on the streets to find their own way back to Country. In any other situation this could be deemed as kidnapping.

Particular protectors have been targeted for police attention and Woodside has targeted specific people by demonizing them in their highly prejudice Induction Workshops that are conducted on a regular basis for all workers, contractors and even government agency representatives entering the proposed site .

Woodside has turned our beautiful community of committed people into a bunch of criminals virtually overnight and have filled it with marauding private corporate mercenaries.

WITH the restrictions on selling its remaining 24% stake in Woodside Petroleum lifted, just what will Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell do now?

Opinions range from selling the stakes back to Woodside in exchange for equity in some of its LNG projects to an outright sale to a possible predator, with BHP Billiton once again mooted as one of the sharks in the water.

Eastern states ecologist Malcolm Linday has examined the number and location of bilby burrows on the peninsula, amidst concern the planned Kimberley gas hub could impact the threatened species.

He says it is clear bilbies are living in the area and have been for some time.

Mr Linday say he has found evidence of an active bilby colony outside the precinct but within in an area that Woodside has permission to clear.
