Frack Free WA protested outside the Hyatt Regency on September 6 where a fracking conference was being held.

Representatives from Black Mountain Energy and Buru Energy, companies with exploratory fracking plans in place for the Kimberley, were presenting to the Good Oil & Gas Conference.

Lock the Gate Alliance spokesperson Claire McKinnon said there was nothing β€œgood” about fracking.

β€œThe name of this conference is truly Orwellian. We know there’s nothing β€˜good’ about fracking, especially in a place as unique and special as the Kimberley.”

Corporations want to frack thousands of oil and gas wells across the Kimberley region, which would unleash a more than 13 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
