NOVEMBER UPDATES
We’re back! The climate crisis continues so get ready for more action. The seat of Higgins may be going but we still have a sitting member of the Government until the next election. We will keep up the heat!
At the last Pub Night we agreed to pursue an ongoing relationship with Lighter Footprints if the seat of Higgins was gone. As a result we are working together to finalise the new relationship. Once it is agreed, you will be the first to know.
We will continue to campaign in Higgins until the election is called. Our campaign is still No New Coal or Gas! It is vital that we all keep up the pressure on our local member and the government.
We are working on some ideas that we can do together and individually to help spread the message that we must stop digging up coal!! Stay tuned…..
FIRST PEOPLES PROTECTING COUNTRY:
The battle in the NT and elsewhere
Environment Centre NT and Beyond Gas Network have teamed up to support a group of Territorians to bring an urgent message down south: The Territory is under threat from gas expansion like never before.
Join us for a FREE powerful event featuring one or more NT Traditional Owners who will share what these dangerous gas projects mean for their communities — and how you can stand in solidarity here in Victoria; and Dr Monique Ryan, the Federal MP for Kooyong, who has spoken out in the Federal Parliament against fracking in the NT, Middle Arm (the $1.9 billion gas hub in Darwin), and Santos’ Barossa gas project in the Timor Sea.
Date: Friday 22 November
Location: Malvern Town Hall Banquet Hall
Time: 7.15pm-9.30pm
VOICES FROM THE FRONTLINE
Community Gathering for NT Climate Justice
Ever heard of the Middle Arm “Sustainable Development Precinct” or as the climate movement calls it – an export hub to enable fracking in the NT? Sadly it looks like a significant chunk of your tax dollars will be used to support this project. Find out more about Middle Arm and the environmental impact of fracking (banned in Victoria) at this event with traditional owners from the NT.
Date: Sunday 24 November
Location: Koorie Heritage Trust, Federation Square
Time: 9.30am-noon
LIGHTER FOOTPRINTS – End of Year Celebration
It’s time to kick back and celebrate a year of working together for climate action. Our celebration this year will be even bigger and better than ever as we have invited our 2025 Kooyong campaign allies to join us.
We will be celebrating in traditional Lighter Footprints style – BYO everything including something for the BBQ and a salad or dessert to share. We will have tables under the trees outside the Guide Hall if the weather is fine and inside if not.
It’s time to celebrate our wins, enjoy a laugh, some good cheer and great company.
We are really looking forward to seeing you there!
