Some days ago Norwegian oil company Equinor announced it has scrapped its $200m plan to drill for oil in the deeps of Great Australian Bight Marine Park. The decision is a big win for environment groups and others that opposed the planned drilling, including Indigenous people and local councils. The proposal sparked protests by tens of thousands of people. – This is the result of relentless campaigning by coastal communities, Indigenous traditional owners, surfers, the seafood industry, tourism operators and local businesses. Never doubt the power and determination of the Australian people. Said Greenpeace Australia Pacific’s chief executive, David Ritter. This is an incredible win for people power and nature! Give a climate heart to everyone that opposed the drilling and to Greenpeace for their work for a brighter future!

Thank you all for your support and love on this initiative- together with coastal communities, Indigenous traditional owners, surfers, the seafood industry, tourism operators and more, we have been able to kick Equinor, BP, Chevron and Karoon Gas out of the Great Australian Bight. There are still a handful of fossil fuel companies with licenses to drill in the bight, and the only way to protect coastal communities and the Great Australian Bight’s unique marine life is to rule out drilling permanently. The world’s climate cannot afford to open disastrous new oil frontiers like this. Extreme oil projects like this have no place in Australia’s waters. The Australian government should now impose a permanent moratorium on oil drilling in this precious marine wonderland.
