In April 2023, Josh Burns #Macnamara told a community forum that Labor's $1.5 billion #MiddleArm public subsidy would support hydrogen
Now that hydrogen projects are carking it all over the place (many after taking public funds👇) does that mean Middle Arm is just a dirty Gas & petrochemical hub❓
“It’s pretty gobsmacking in terms of the impacts on nature...
This is the kind of project that shouldn’t get past the starting gun based on impacts to nature” - @kirstyhowey.bsky.social, Environment Centre NT
