Let's Recharge the Territory instead

Tell Luke Gosling MP and Prime Minister Albanese to redirect the Middle Arm subsidy and Recharge the Territory instead.

The Federal Government has promised a $1.5 billion subsidy for a major gas and petrochemical export hub in Darwin Harbour.

Middle Arm will transfer public money into the hands of offshore gas companies with little benefit for Territorians.

This petrochemical and gas hub poses unacceptable risks to our climate, our health, and our harbour.

The Federal Government has the power to redirect its massive $1.5b subsidy for this toxic project, and invest in initiatives that can achieve meaningful, lasting change for Territorians. 

ECNT's Recharging the Territory Report demonstrates that with the same amount of money that the Government wants to use to subsidize toxic industries on Darwin Harbour, we could instead deliver high-quality local jobs, tackle the cost-of-living crisis, and set the Territory up to be a leader in the sustainable industries of the future. 

Please email Luke Gosling MP and Prime Minister Albanese today and urge them to invest in real change for the Territory.

Dear Prime Minister, 
I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to redirect your Government's $1.5 billion funding commitment for the Middle Arm gas hub, following startling information revealed in the recent Senate Inquiry. 
The Senate Inquiry into the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct has demonstrated that the risks of this project to our health, climate, Harbour, and economy are simply unacceptable.  
I urge you to listen to the evidence and to the hundreds of Territorians - including Traditional Owners, teachers, nurses, unions, and small business owners -  who made submissions, joined in demonstrations, and bravely spoke at the Inquiry, and take action. 
There is an alternative.  
The ECNT's <a href="http://www.ecnt.org.au/recharging">Recharging the Territory</a> report demonstrates how much could be achieved with a redirection of your Government's $1.5 billion funding commitment. Strategic deployment of this funding would enable the Territory to join the renewables revolution happening across the country, tackle climate change, and change the lives of Territorians by investing in sustainable jobs and training, and funding energy upgrades for low income and public housing dwellings.   
You now have the opportunity to transform the lives of Territorians and prevent an environmental and health disaster.  
Will you act now to safeguard the Territory's future?  
Yours sincerely,
