25.01.2022 BROOME ANTI-FRACKING PROTEST: Protesters marched through Broome today to oppose an oil and gas proposal in the Great Sandy Desert. The protest began at the town... oval, and marched to a nearby hotel where a meeting was taking place between Theia Energy and Karajarri native title holders. The meeting is to determine if Karajarri will accept Theia Energy's proposal to use hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and gas from an area 150 kilometres south east of Broome. Many of the protesters identified as traditional owners of areas neighbouring the Karajarri native title area. The Karajarri Traditional Land Association and Theia Energy have not yet announced what decision has been reached.

21.01.2022 This Saturday... "What does it mean to care for the well-being of other members of our community in the face of the infectious nature of Covid? What does it mean to care for the broader ecosphere upon which we depend and are a part? What does it mean to take care of the fragile ‘thing’ we call democracy...? To care requires that first that we are prepared to pay attention beyond our own self-interest, without at the same time disregarding it. Then, if we accept that meaning i...s created within in a web of relationships (rather than in our heads), we recognise that the move toward actions founded in the idea of genuine care is something we can only do together. Democracy does (in fact) promise the possibility of creating meaning together, in relationship, and connected to the world that we all share. If we can bring some vitality and integrity back to the idea of democracy, then we can face reality with a new set of understandings and actions. This Peoples’ Assembly is an opportunity to claim back the possibilities of democracy by rediscovering how to do it to listen to others, to respond (rather than react) and to do so in a human space unmediated by the algorithms and distractions of social media. The outcome of this assembly what we decide together will be sent to local councils and members of government for them to take notice of. In addition, the fact that a body of people are prepared to do this will signal that we are no longer leaving the responsibilities of providing a caring democracy only to our representatives." https://events.humanitix.com/peoples-assembly
