Labor has committed $1.9 billion to a huge industrial gas precinct in the NT called Middle Arm, a project designed to make it easier for big gas corporations to process and export gas, and to quickly lead to opening up the Beetaloo Basin for fracking.
Instead of using the federal budget as an opportunity to prove their commitment to the climate, Labor has chosen to hide their fossil fuel spending by moving the Middle Arm funding off budget. While we are facing a rising cost of living, massive increases to the cost of study, and unstable housing, our government is making the choice to spend on fossil fuels - and then has the nerve to try and hide it.
