James Price's Point, NO SOCIAL LICENCE TO OPERATE

It’s no secret that noxious industries tend to stay away from wealthy, white, and suburban communities. Several studies have shown that polluting industries target low-income communities and, most notably, communities of color. It’s their game plan.

However, Broome and the communities of the Dampier Peninsula has built a permanent base of people power and this consolidated collaborating and vigorous community will continuously challenge and hold accountable any dominant institutional powers or multinational corporate who’s intentions are to devalue and undermine our collective sense of social, environmental and economic justice.

Broome and the Dampier Peninsula comprise individuals and communities that are respectful co creators of community and social welling life. We will not be subjected or treated like passive objects of decisions made by those wrecking local national and global havoc for self-enrichment.

The Broome and Damiper Peninsula communities will never issue the Social Licence to Operate to Woodside and the Joint Venture Partners to operate the proposed world's largest LNG refineries in our cultural, heritage and recreational areas. We will never allow our town or community to become subservient to a CO2 pumping, climate contributing and poisons emissions creating ogre.

Court hearing over Kimberley gas hub - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Court hearing over Kimberley gas hub - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The fact there has been no decision made at Joseph Roe’s Court Case yesterday and the decision is not expected to be handed down for a few months. Country remains very vulnerable and exposed even in this Appeals court process.

Injunctions can and will be slammed on both Woodside and the Department of Main Roads if they try to preempt this Court’s decision.


However, the Environmental Defenders office had a written assurance from Woodside that they would not try to undertake these works on clearing the Country, that agreement expired today.


Now is the time to remain vigilant.
