Melbourne – Aug 14th, Kimberley rally, State Library, 12pm
The KEEP THE KIMBERLEY public rally will be held in response to Woodside’s liquefied 
natural gas hub proposed for James Price Point (Walmadan) near Broome. Rally goers strongly oppose this development and are calling on federal politicians to stop the project going ahead.
Featured on the day will be live performances from some of Australia’s finest musicians – Dan Sultan, Shane Howard, Liz Stringer and Tanya Ransom. Guest speakers will include Goolarabooloo – Jabirr Jabirr Traditional Owner Neil McKenzie, Glen Klatovsky (The Wilderness Society), Kevin Blatchford (Save The Kimberley) and Martin Pritchard (Environs Kimberley).
“The Kimberley is one of the world’s last remaining wilderness areas. Australians from all walks of life appreciate and feel a connection with its sweeping landscapes, magnificent coastlines and wild rivers, its vast numbers of plant, marine and wildlife species. The Kimberley is rich in indigenous culture and possesses a unique social, environmental and historical quality that forms the fabric of our rare Australian identity,” Kevin Blatchford said.
“The LNG gas hub would destroy this as it is the thin edge of the wedge and unless we act now to protect this pristine region, it will end up being devastated like the Pilbara,” said Mr Blatchford.
The event will form part of a broader campaign coinciding with rallies in Byron Bay, Perth and Denmark (Western Australia) to raise awareness about the proposed LNG hub. Media Release FINAL-1

The Honorable Tony Burke, MP

P.O. Box 6022
House of Representatives, Parliament House
Canberra, ACT 2600
Dear Minister,
We write to you on behalf of the people who cherish the natural values and the cultural heritage of the Kimberley.
Save The Kimberley is an awareness organization which has grown rapidly on the simple platform to prevent environmentally destructive, heavy polluting industry taking hold in the Kimberley – indisputably Australia’s (and one of the world’s) last great wildernesses. While Save The Kimberley is not opposed to the responsible exploitation of the Browse natural gas reserves to the benefit of ALL Australians, we are vehemently opposed to the proposal of a massive Greenfields LNG processing hub being built at James Price Point just north of Broome on a stretch of pristine coastline rich in a living aboriginal culture and treasure-trove of marine bio diversity, anthropology, archaeology and palaeontology. There are several far less environmentally damaging and far more socially acceptable alternatives to James Price Point, all of which are demonstrably cheaper and will deliver first gas to the market sooner.
The communities of Broome and Dampier Peninsular, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, have been thrown into turmoil by the proposal and are overwhelmed by its implications. Notwithstanding the certain awful environmental impact such a development would have on this beautiful place, in the first instance, an ugly sense of polarization has gripped our community.
So it is with some sense of urgency, and with full knowledge of the position you hold, that we invite you to Broome at your earliest convenience to meet with Save The Kimberley with a view to filling in any gaps you may have in your understanding of the environmental, social and cultural issues here in Broome and the Dampier Peninsular relating to this proposal.
Save The Kimberley will provide secure and comfortable venues to meet, introduce you to significant people and, should your schedule allow, would welcome the opportunity to show you more of our unique Kimberley environment.
Yours sincerely,
Neil McKenzie Mark Jones
Director and Co-chair Director
