This protest will take place on the land of the Dharawal and Yuin peoples. ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE ABORIGINAL LAND!
Bushfires are ravaging the country, tearing down houses and destroying lives & ecosystems. While we lose our homes and loved ones, have our towns and cities choked by smoke, or sit on beaches hiding from flames, Scott Morrison is letting us burn. The climate crisis is causing endless destruction, but fossil fuel bosses rake in profits from burning our planet while politicians give them handouts.
At the same time as drought is rife across the country, here in the Illawarra mining is slated to be expanded into our local water catchment, which will drain up to 3 billion litres a year.
We demand:
– Tax fossil fuel companies to fund bushfire relief for communities in need
– Sack Scott Morrison!
– Increase funding for our fire services
– No new coal, gas or oil
– No mining in the Greater Sydney Water Catchment
