We are blessed to live in a unique and rare place, blessed with a great diversity of plant and animal species, in a largely unblemished state. Our area in such good shape environmentally, that it is recognised as a world biodiversity hotspot, the only one in Australia, and one of very few on the planet. It is our responsibility to look after it for future generations. The entire Southwest and the Margaret River region in particular draws visitors from around the world who are attracted by our image of pristine nature. They come to enjoy our world class wines, outstanding foods, and clean environment. Fracking threatens all of that, and puts our aquifers, air and all we hold dear in this area at risk.
Unconventional gas exploration is demonstrably dangerous to the environment and regularly brings accidents and irreparable damage. Well casings degrade and eventually break down, well heads leak, methane spews into the air, and literally hundreds of toxic chemicals are pumped into the earth to free the gas which ultimately may leach into our water. These practices threaten everything that this region stands for and should not be permitted ever.
As an agricultural business owner, I support a statewide permanent ban on fracking as well as veto rights for landholders.

As a business owner, I pledge to support our thriving regional industries and diverse businesses, which are under threat from unconventional gas activities. We will stand together to keep our region Gasfield Free.

We have no future with fracking in the picture, we need to look for alternatives and develop them. We are well aware that the Liberal party is after the cheap and easy solutions, you can't call them jobs for the future as we know we won't have any water supplies to support us in the years following fracking. We look much further ahead at the big picture and your short sighted view is totally destructive.

It would be a sin if the WA Government allowed Fracking in the beautiful and unique Margaret River Region.
