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!
