Woodside Threatens to Sue Activists
Kristen is from Disrupt Burrup Hub, the group trying to stop the disastrous expansion of fossil fuel giant Woodside.
"We are taking on a massive multinational corporation that makes more than a million dollars an hour."
In breaking news, Woodside has just threatened to sue them. Legal academic Nicole Rogers said on the ABC that "the intention is to disempower and silence activists."
Will you help them defend climate and culture?
The world's largest and oldest collection of Aboriginal rock art at Murujuga is at stake. And climate experts are calling Woodside's extension "Australia’s most important climate decision...Everything else we’re doing fades away in comparison."
Yet members of the group have had their homes raided by police, who even flicked through someone's diary.
People power must stay strong. Please dig deep if you can.
Our Mate Kate Needs You Right Now
Our friend Kate's got horses in critical care and not a blade of grass in the paddocks. She puts in so much to rescue horses from slaughter, and racing greyhounds. Right now she needs some extra funds to help her through a rough patch.
"I'm normally a pretty independent human, but after a few unexpected surgery aftercare bills over the last few months and the grasses gone over winter, I need some help."
Her Elysian Fields Sanctuary Horse and Greyhound Rescue gives these beautiful animals the rehabilitation and love that they need for a happier life in a forever home. The costs of feeding the horses alone is $2,720 a month and it's all piling up! She's had some really tough days but every donation has given her encouragement to stay strong.
Please give what you can to show her horses and greyhounds some love right now!
Let's help her thrive!

The climate and ancient Aboriginal rock art are at risk
Woodside Petroleum is destroying the climate and ancient Murujuga rock art. Toxic emissions on the Burrup Peninsula have already eroded the outer layer of the artworks causing the carvings to slowly disappear.
Ballardong Noongar man Desmond Blurton is part of a series of peaceful protests demanding no more industry on Murujuga at the Burrup Peninsula in North West WA.
“We must protect our cultural heritage and artwork NOW. This painting is barely 100 years old. We have 50,000 year old artwork that Woodside is destroying.”
The protest was subsequently endorsed by the descendants of ‘Down on His Luck’ painter Frederick McCubbin.
There's still time to stop Woodside from gaining the finance and approvals for its planned Burrup Hub expansions - but we need to act fast.
Please help Disrupt Burrup Hub protect these precious cultural artworks.
Ukraine's children need us!
The children of Ukraine are set to inherit a dangerous burden. Their home is now covered in more landmines than any other country in the world.
"Landmines do not discriminate between a child or a soldier – their use violates international law, poses a grave risk to children, and additionally hampers the ability to transport humanitarian aid to where it is needed most."
1 in 8 civilians killed or injured by landmines and unexploded ordnances is a child.
“The descendants of our generation will face this problem, because it will be for decades.”
In response, everyday legend Nathan Burraston is urgently raising funds for a 7th shipment of metal detectors straight to Ukrainians on the ground to save lives. Volunteers on the ground have removed over 150,000 landmines to date - but the Russian army left MILLIONS.
Can you help Nathan get a new load of life-saving metal detectors to Ukrainians?
