It’s incomprehensible, then, that many of our politicians support “unlocking the Beetaloo Basin” in the Northern Territory and developing another 48 oil and gas projects across Australia.

Key Points: 
  • It’s incomprehensible, then, that many of our politicians support “unlocking the Beetaloo Basin” in the Northern Territory and developing another 48 oil and gas projects across Australia.
  • Today we have launched a report that demonstrates the many risks of oil and gas development for human health and wellbeing in Australia.

    Australia's 116 new coal, oil and gas projects equate to 215 new coal power stations

What is the evidence against oil and gas?

    • There is a need to combat widely held misconceptions and repeated misinformation about the safety of the oil and gas industry.
    • New research clearly shows that “unlocking gas” is at least as harmful to the climate as mining and burning coal.
    • Our report synthesises recent scientific and public health research on five areas of concern about oil and gas operations:
    • Fracking is often applied many times to each of hundreds to thousands of wells in a region.
    • Air becomes contaminated with volatile organic compounds, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, radioactive materials, diesel fumes, hydrogen sulfide, acrolein and heavy metals.
