Woodside’s 2012 invasion is imminent with several signs
indicating just that:

down of Manari road,

Woodside vehicles,

- A mobile police camera and communications vehicle
has been established
- Broome Community No Gas Information Bay at Black
Tank have been told to move by the Shire by Wednesday,
- Reports of over a hundred police being moved to
Broome and reported to be staying at the Cable Beach Club
- Police
officers undertaking surprise visit with a campaign spokespeople to advise them
of the current police strategies and their intention this year to arrest
without warning anyone blocking roads.
Interesting that the police have make it quite clear that
they will continue, like last year to be complicit in their support of Woodside
and will continue to aid them in their illegal activities.
However, Woodside has not fulfilled its obligations and
conditions placed on them by Development Assessment Panels Approval of these
works on 9th February 2012.
To date the Shire of Broome has not endorsed Woodside and a
Department of Environment and Conservation approved new Environmental Management
Plan for proposed new works associated with the Approval. According to the DAP
Approval the EMP must be in place prior to
any works being undertaken.
Shire of Broome with the Department of Environment and
Conservation’s must approve Woodside’s Weed Management Plan and a Dust
Suppression Plan. A Waste Management
Plan and a Road Maintenance Plan also need to be submitted before any works are
undertaken.
No clearing permits have been issued or applied for by
Woodside to undertake activities on the west side of Manari Road.
According to the Development Assessment Panel Approval,
Woodside is required to implement an approved sewerage system for all fixtures
including toilets, ablutions, offices and kitchen within one month of the date
of the approval. To date this has not been established and again Woodside
proves they are totally incapable of addressing the simplest of conditions
placed on them.
Given, Woodside’s appalling record in noncompliance and
their duplicity towards permits and approvals, the Broome community is entitled
to be suspicious of Woodside’s capacity to do anything right. All these Management
Plans need to be tabled at a Shire Council Meeting and ratified by them before
Woodside can continue to destroy Country.
The Broome Shire has the responsibility to guarantee some conformity and
transparency in order to reassure the community that these Management Plans
have actually been produced, endorsed by the appropriate authorities and
implemented accordingly.
The last thing the Police need is a situation like last year
where they were assisting illegal activities right up to the point of clearing
the way for Woodside’s bulldozers to smash heritage sites and Country illegally.
They might find that it’s not just Woodside and the WA state government that
will be dragged through the courts; they too will eventually be held accountable
for their actions under the Law.
Justice will be served eventually and all behind the
scene immoral corporate/gov puppeteers co conspirators will be exposed for all
their scandalous law-breaking and gluttonous behavior that continues to be
subservient to multinational Corporations at the expense of our Culture,
community and country.
Now, Woodside have redefined the National Heritage Council
boundaries of the intertidal zone and are planning to drill within this
boundary of the National Heritage Listed area in which dinosaur track sites
occur.
Meanwhile, a temporary 19 km trace line to the proposed
Browse LNG Precinct site was cleared by the Main Roads WA in order for them to
further identify any sensitive environmental or heritage areas to be avoided
during the planning phase of the access road. It is not a thoroughfare for
Woodside cronies to travel up and down at will, spreading invasive weeds and flattering
all the new growth that regenerated itself in the last wet.
According to their Section 91 Woodside are to remain in the
proposed precinct area and not travel outside this area but like it was
mentioned before Woodside cannot implement even the minimum of stipulations
placed on them.
Meanwhile everybody knows that the gas will eventually be
piped to the Pilbara because the only sense this type of corporation listen to
are the cents found in the dollars. However, this will not stop Woodside, the
state and federal governments and the silent joint venture partners from dragging
us as a community through the façade.
The Broome community again will be
subjected to corporate bulling as concerned citizens standing up for their
community, Country and their Culture get herded down the corridors of a police
state.
