To all the Victorian family who are doing it tough with COVID I’m sending you my love and prayers right now.

I was asked by some locals in Westernport Bay to help get their message out about protecting their beloved home.



These are very complex and turbulent times but we can’t let the fossil fuel industry use this moment as a massive chess game strategy to twist our state and federal governments arms to their will. If ANYTHING these already established resource companies, that have massively profited off the back of our nation, making BILLIONS of dollars every quarter, should be TAXED at least as much as I am to help with the economic fall out of COVID.

Here’s what the @savewesternport group would like you to know :



Save Westernport says AGL’s plan is an environmental and social disaster.



Right now it’s still just a plan. But AGL’s Environmental Effects Statement (EES) is now

up for public comment and it’s time to say

NO!

AGL is using its EES to get state government approval for it’s cancerous plan. AGL will say it can manage risks to people and the environment. AGL’s track record says otherwise.



From a 6,000 litre sulphuric acid leak to an ash slurry overflow into endangered woodlands, the company has left too much environmental wreckage in its wake.



But AGL doesn’t get it.



They don’t care that Westernport communities have said NO! to bad ideas for over 50 years.

So what have our communities stopped? A uranium enrichment plant on French Island; a petro-chemical plant destined to discharge waste into the ocean through a pipeline

crossing Phillip Island; the gouging of kilometre after kilometre of shorelines to make wharves

for heavy industry; a huge container terminal that stood to kill the bay’s sensitive wetlands;

aluminium smelters and processing for paper and zinc.



The list goes on.



Save Westernport has talked with thousands of locals, and we know what you want. You want

a real say about what happens in your towns and communities. You want a clean bay that’s

safe for the people, businesses and wildlife that rely on it. You want an economy that protects

the beauty and promise of this incredible place. ...
