Use your voice to tell these key leaders to ban fracking

RIGHT NOW, the Territory government is deciding on whether to allow gas companies to frack up groundwater and country, or ban the practice for good.

These decision makers have a choice to make, will they choose to put a permanent ban on fracking to protect the future of the Territory, or cave to the bullies in the gas lobby?

You can stand in solidarity with Aboriginal communities and Territorians by calling and sending messages to the possible champions below and encouraging them to make the right decision.

Here are some tips of what to say whether on a phone call or through commenting on their social media/tweeting at them:

• Water is life in the NT, we can't risk poisoning it with toxic chemicals from dangerous fracking
• The NT will get hardly any money for letting gas companies frack up the state, it didn't work in Queensland, why would it work in the NT?
• There are hardly any jobs in fracking compared to tourism and farming industries which are threatened by fracking.
• Fracking will fuel climate change and the forced closures of remote Aboriginal communities
• You can't drink gas, we need farmers with clean water to put food on the table
