They said it was unwinnable. They were wrong.
| Dear Clive, There was a time when the industrialisation of the Kimberley coastline felt inevitable, with a massive gas hub proposed for one of the most pristine and culturally significant landscapes in Australia, backed by enormous financial and political momentum. Many believed it would be impossible to be stopped; that the scale of the project and the forces behind it made the outcome unavoidable. But that wasn’t what happened. The project wasn’t stopped at the last minute, and it wasn’t undone after all of the damage had begun – it was prevented from being built entirely, because people acted early enough to interrupt the trajectory before it became irreversible. In our Fight Doom webinar series, we will take you inside that fight, exploring what it actually took to hold the line, where it could have fallen apart, and how a campaign that was widely seen as unwinnable ultimately succeeded.RSVP Webinar 1: The Kimberley Win → For nature, Authorised by Cherie Hansell© The Wilderness Society—support the life that supports us all.20/40 Meagher St, Chippendale NSW 2008 We recognise First Nations as the custodians of land and water across Australia and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
