Nice tune. Shame about the situation there. I'm presuming it's Shell building the gas plant.

If it is, they'll use every trick in the book to build it and won't care who they tread on.

The government and police will support them not the taxpaying citizens

It stinks. Same happened and is happening here in Ireland. Eventually all profit will leave the country and the community will be ripped apart. Not to mention the environmental costs. Tis a shame.

oh dear!

Yes well it looks like Broome could go in the same direction. I know the odds are probably stacked against us but I believe in fighting for the environment and culture, so I won't stop.

It's such a shame because Broome is famous in Australia for its beautiful untouched scenery and laid back lifestyle. This mining project is already starting to screw all of that up.

Woodside (the company) still needs approval from the government I think, so if we can send a strong enough message, we could stop it.

Thanks for your video links, its a very similar story.

Great job Mike. Really great to see the efforts you are putting toward this cause. It's becoming more and more clear that the struggle against corporate greed is worldwide. We desperately need sustainable and renewable sources of energy, in spite of the profiteers who have built an empire on the mining and sale of fossil fuels.

Awesome job on the music and video, too!
