Would the Brits Bulldoze Stonehenge??
April 12th 2007 18:28
we appear to be involved in a battle whose end will determine our worlds religion...
either it will be respect for our planet and its past...
or it will be a devolved rewriting of history to suit zio-fascist liars, whose main symbol is an instrument of torture...
------------------
Dear friends,
Late last year, thousands of GetUp members rallied to save the oldest and largest collection of art on the planet - the Burrup rock carvings in Western Australia. It's a little-known Indigenous site that includes one of the earliest identified images of a human face and the now-extinct Tasmanian Tiger. We've nearly succeeded in protecting it once and for all.
But behind the scenes, government power brokers and industry lobbyists are clamouring. Oil and gas giant Woodside say they support heritage listing - just so long as they can keep extracting liquefied natural gas from offshore. They've got a plan for a multi-billion dollar expansion at Burrup, even though suitable sites for long-term economic development exist a short distance down the coast.
We know decision-makers want to do the right thing, but they need our support. So we're going to the people with the power to make the ultimate difference, from the WA State Premier to the Federal Environment Minister, and Woodside's much-anticipated AGM next week. Whether or not you've spoken out before to save the Burrup, you can help tip the balance now by signing the petition below.
Really Long Link
You've already done a stunning job of cracking this debate wide open, but time is running out. Woodside have their bulldozers and diamond cutters out in the field, and our political leaders are under serious pressure to buckle.
Fortunately, supporters have risen above party politics. Former Liberal and Labor WA Premiers both say we should save every remaining carving on the islands, and MPs and senators from all sides of politics will be in WA next week to speak out. Indigenous custodians have also made clear their firm opposition to further development. What each of these voices needs now is public support to stay strong, so they can fight to protect something that once destroyed, can never be replaced.
