“Every generation of Australians since the first wave of European settlement has celebrated plunder, dumb luck, and ‘finders keepers’. This is what we mean by ‘a fair go’.

@tonyburkemp.bsky.social I assume you're adding your voice to this as both Australia's Minister for the Arts and a decent human being, yes?

An open letter from artists around the world

To the Australian Environment Minister –

By the end of summer, you will decide whether to protect one of Australia and the world’s most important artworks, or allow its ongoing destruction for decades from additional acid gas pollution from the North West Shelf gas export terminal.

In addition to its spiritual importance to the traditional custodians, the World Heritage nominated Murujuga rock art on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia is one of the most important and spectacular artworks in the world.

At over 40,000 years old, it is at least twice as ancient as the Lascaux cave paintings in France, eight times as ancient as the pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge. It is also a continuous living artwork produced forty millennia, recording the artists’ vision of everything from prehistoric megafauna to the arrival of Europeans.

These artworks have survived an ice age but it's taken industrial gas export activities just 40 years to put them in danger.

Since the arrival of the gas industry, acid gas emissions have corroded these priceless exquisite images and thousands of petroglyphs have been removed and destroyed.

Now the Australian Government is considering approving a further 50-years of gas exports and pollution from the largest and most destructive project, the North West Shelf gas export terminal. 

Other countries like France, the UK and Egypt would never allow this to happen to their cultural heritage.

As artists we condemn the damage done to these priceless artworks and call on the Environment Minister to reject another 50-years of pollution and damage to one of Australia and the world’s most important cultural heritage sites by the North West Shelf gas export terminal.
