Gas from the Beetaloo Basin has started flowing up to Darwin this week to help power Territory homes and businesses.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫石油天然气勘探开发的商业模式，来自OilGas。为什么聪明人在油气行业照样亏钱？做了三十年上游石油工程，又是石油资源评估师协会（Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineer)的全职会员，这十几年又一直在看资本市场与做了大量的尽职调查。有一个规律反复出现，让我一直想把它写下来。看一看二零零年以来在香港和中国大陆上市的民营油气公司名单。阳光油砂，I P O时中石化、中投、中国人寿都是基石股东，如今在自己的老矿区上挖比特币。M I 能源，创始团队是中国最早一批独立石油人，二零一九年美元债违约。洲际油气、新潮能源、美都能源……名单还能列很长。这批公司里超过八成以违约、退市或控制权被迫易手收场，活下来的屈指可数。最省事的解释是这些创始人决策失误，但我不认为这站得住脚。新潮能源手里的是二叠纪盆地最核心区域的资产之一——日产油气当量六万桶以上，资产质量货真价实，却照样陷入治理危机。F A R公司联合发现了Sangomar，这是二零一四年全球最大的油田之一，二零二零年油价崩盘时照样被迫在底部贱卖股权。就连B H P，全球公认最自律的资本配置者，也在页岩气上单笔亏损约200亿美元。好的地质条件和聪明的人，都救不了一个错配的资本结构。真正的问题是资金的期限。上游项目需要十到十五年的耐心资本，而民营企业通常只能拿到三到五年的钱：高息美元债、带对赌的定增、股权质押。这种错配意味着，无论底层资产有多好，民营资本在结构上都被迫在周期顶部买入、底部卖出。有一个反例，而且已经跑了四十年。日本的商社和公用事业公司，自20世纪八十年代起，就持有澳大利亚L N G项目的少数股权，例如：三井、三菱在西北大陆架，Inpex在Ichthys的项目。它们穿越了五轮油价崩盘，从未被迫卖出过一次。公式很简单：少数股权，绑定长期承购合同，用没有三年考核期的资本来出资。不用看到日本这么远，同样的逻辑就在北珀斯盆地上演。Strike Energy和它当年的合作伙伴Warrego Energy发现了 West Erregulla，这是西澳最大的未开发陆上气田之一，但他们没有足够的资产负债表把它推向投产。Gina Rinehart旗下的Hancock Energy出手了：二零二三年以约4.5亿澳元收购Warrego持有的百分之五十权益；二零二四年再进一步，以最高11.3亿澳元的代价从Chris Ellison的Mineral Resources手中买下Lockyer及North Erregulla气田项目的全部权益，这是西澳最大的陆上油气发现之一。就在几天前，最新一份A S X公告显示，Hancock在West Erregulla项目上又进了一步：选定自家的Belisama处理设施作为Strike天然气的处理路径，并为项目前期开发提供最高三千万澳元的资金支持，同时修改贷款条款，二零二九年到期前不设分期还款。Strike目前的目标是二零二九年中实现首次产气。短短两年多时间，一个家族的耐心资本就从一个合资项目的股东，变成了整个盆地里举足轻重的战略玩家，它吸收了一连串A S X小型油气公司始终无法独自承担的融资和基础设施风险。这和日本商社的模式如出一辙，只是这一次跑的是澳大利亚家族资本，而不是东京的资产负债表。顺便插一句，我们为上述所有交易的提供了尽职调查。把视线从常规气田挪到非常规气田——比如昆士兰Surat盆地的煤层气，和北领地Beetaloo盆地的页岩气——同样的逻辑会以更极端的方式重演。常规气田往往只需几口井就能撑起多年的平台期产量；煤层气和页岩气的单井递减极快，要维持平台期产量就必须持续不断地打井——这与其说是一次性的发现，不如说是一场分布在成百上千口井上的概率游戏，更像制造业而非勘探。Senex Energy在Surat盆地就吃过这个苦头：仅仅为了达到每天30太焦的平台期产量，就要投入两亿澳元以上、打大约100口井；后来的扩产计划更是要打280口井才能把产量翻三倍。这种资本需求最终超出了A S X市场能为一家独立小型公司承受的范围，二零二二年Senex被韩国POSCO International与Hancock Energy组成的财团以约8.5亿澳元的价格收购私有化。北领地的Beetaloo页岩气项目更极端：单井成本约2600万美元，若要完成200口井的全面开发，仅钻井成本就将高达约78亿澳元。曾经在Beetaloo勘探过的公司里，如今只剩三家小型公司还在坚持，而即便是它们，也不得不持续不断地融资才能撑到首次产气——包括Tamboran今年一笔1.98亿美元的融资，以及日本Inpex入股带来的战略资金。正如一位分析师总结的那样，开发Beetaloo需要一个愿意在证明商业开发价值之前、连续数年投入数十亿美元的深口袋玩家——而依靠公开市场融资的小型企业，从来没有这样的口袋。我反复回到的一个结论是：在这个行业里，决定成败的很少是资产本身，而是资本结构。如果你不能掌控自己的退出时点，周期迟早会替你做这个决定。很好奇，这个行业里的其他人，是否在离自己更近的地方也见过同样的剧本重演

Australia's Climate Council CEO, Amanda McKenzie, has described plans to go ahead with the Beetaloo Basin project as "bat-shit crazy"."Nepal knows only too well the devastating dangers of climate change";"Melbourne records its warmest winter on record, as bushfire season looms";"End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World.";"This company has built a solar car. I took it for a drive".

Mango industry concerned about slow-down in working holiday visa approvals. Jemena's managing director David Gillespie speaks to ABC Rural about plans to pipe Beetaloo gas to the eastern states.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Todd Abbott, Chief Executive Officer of Tamboran Resources, and Dick Stoneburner, Chairman of Tamboran's Board, for a conversation recorded on location in Daly Waters, Northern Territory, Australia, a town of roughly 55 people. Tamboran holds approximately 2.8 million net acres across the Beetaloo Basin, and Todd estimates the basin contains roughly 200 Tcf of recoverable gas, enough to support 5 to 6 Bcf per day for a century. The company is dual-listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. We recorded on Tuesday morning Australia time this week as part of the company's first gas celebration at the Shenandoah 2 pad. In our conversation, Todd explains why a resource of this scale and duration is unique globally, in a region with rising demand and declining domestic supply, and in a country that has supplied LNG to Asia since 1989. He describes the Northern Territory as the most supportive regulatory regime he has worked with, including Texas, with a high bar on standards paired with real support in clearing them. We explore Tamboran's various strategic partnerships, including Liberty Energy, Helmerich & Payne, and Baker Hughes, all of which are investors in the company. We also discuss INPEX's recent farm-in to the Daly Waters joint venture. Todd covers the company's cost structure in the field and also discusses gas prices which are roughly three times U.S. levels. As we wrapped up with Todd, we touch on the growing inbound interest from multinationals to Asian gas utilities, and his view that timing, not geology, is the biggest uncertainty he cannot control. A theme throughout the discussion with Todd was his comparison of this new shale development to others he has seen in his 25-year career. Dick then takes us under the hood on the subsurface. At roughly 1.4 billion years old, the Beetaloo is the oldest petroleum system in the world, deposited when only a single life form existed, leaving 150 meters of continuous thermogenic shale from that one organism type. He describes petrophysical characteristics most comparable to the Marcellus and superior to it in many areas, and early well behavior that appears genuinely different, including one well on incline at the tail end of a 90-day test with no surface changes. He also walks us through how Tamboran found the over pressured areas, moving 60 miles south into the deepest part of the basin. We close with well spacing at Shenandoah 2, the beneficial use of gas allowance that lets Tamboran produce ahead of a formal production license, and the milestones Dick is watching, principally the first real decline curves and the testing of additional landing zones. Dick has been involved with the company since 2014 and, as a result, offers a phenomenal historical perspective. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that Treasury yields moved higher across the curve this week, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to 4.8% and the 30-year Treasury yield exceeding 5.25%. The increase in yields was driven primarily by Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's more hawkish tone at last week's Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, which prompted investors to scale back expectations for future interest rate cuts. Turning to the broader equity market, he highlighted that the S&P 500 declined ~1% this week, pressured by higher oil prices and rising bond yields. With second-quarter earnings season largely in the rearview mirror, investor attention is increasingly shifting toward the September 16 FOMC meeting and the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Turning to oil markets, WTI crude oil prices increased ~$6/bbl (to ~$90/bbl) this week amid renewed conflict between the U.S. and Iran. Mike noted that the biggest development in the oil market this week was the announcement of a 65-billion-barrel oil agreement between the U.S. and Venezuela. Turning to natural gas, European prices continued to move higher this week, reaching ~$25/MMBtu (up over 165% year-to-date). The primary driver remains concern over whether European storage inventories can be replenished to "minimum" required levels before the start of the winter heating season in November. The energy sector advanced ~3% this week, supported primarily by stronger crude oil prices. Mike noted that M&A and strategic deals were a major theme across the energy and electricity complex, with four significant deals/transactions announced this week: SLB's acquisition of Kelvion for ~$4.0 billion; ONEOK's acquisition of Brazos Midstream for ~$4.4 billion; Comstock Resources' $1.65 billion cash transaction with SOCAR; and Fervo Energy's 396-megawatt power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google. Mark Castiglione also joined the conversation, and with the help of Albert De La Portilla, he will be spending roughly a week in the Beetaloo basin understanding all the aspects of the play. The Tamboran team could not have been better hosts, and we sincerely appreciate this opportunity.

Beetaloo gas is heading towards the Channel Island power station. Plans to reopen a major abattoir in northern Australia have been delayed, because of visa issues.

Eight years after a moratorium on fracking gas was lifted in the Northern Territory, the tap was officially turned on at the massive Beetaloo Basin gas development.

Interview with Alex Underwood, Managing Director, Beetaloo EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empire-energy-asxeeg-racing-to-unlock-vast-australian-shale-gas-resource-4901Recording date: 7th August 2026Beetaloo Energy Australia, formerly Empire Energy Group, is moving toward a crucial milestone in the development of the Northern Territory's Beetaloo Basin, with first gas from its Carpentaria pilot now targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. The updated schedule is later than the company's previously indicated 2025 timeframe, reflecting construction and commissioning realities rather than a change in the project's resource base or contracted sales position.Three wells have been connected to a pilot pad located approximately five kilometres from the Carpentaria gas plant, whose construction and flowline installation are largely complete. The project is supported by a binding 10-year gas sales agreement with the Northern Territory Government. The contract provides fixed-price revenue with a consumer price index-linked escalator, giving Beetaloo visibility over near-term cash flows. Initial supply is expected to reach 10 terajoules per day, potentially increasing by another 15 terajoules per day once pipeline-flow infrastructure is upgraded.The company reports approximately A$125 million in available liquidity, divided roughly between cash and undrawn facilities, including Macquarie Bank funding for the gas plant. Management says this provides sufficient funding through first gas without an immediate need for further equity.However, well economics remain dependent on substantial cost reductions. Recent wells cost more than A$50 million each, partly because of Australia's remote logistics and high transport costs. Beetaloo expects year-round drilling and stimulation to eventually halve well costs, supporting targeted internal rates of return of 30% to 50%.A separate growth opportunity comes from a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Halliburton for Beetaloo Digital, a proposed AI data centre near Darwin. Halliburton would contribute power-generation expertise, while Beetaloo's role would remain focused on supplying gas rather than owning or operating the facility.Longer term, demand could come from Northern Territory industry, east-coast gas shortages and LNG exports. Nevertheless, the investment case remains exposed to first-gas delays, high initial well costs, third-party pipeline investment and the uncommitted status of the data-centre proposal.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-energy-groupSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Beetaloo Energy Managing Director Alex Underwood joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's progress toward first gas sales, which are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 as it transitions into pilot production in Australia's Beetaloo Basin. Underwood said the company's gas processing plant remains on schedule and on budget, with construction completed without any safety or environmental incidents. Beetaloo has already drilled and hydraulically fractured three horizontal wells and has received regulatory approval to commence pilot gas production. The company also recently completed a seismic survey over its western basin acreage, acquired several years ago, which is estimated to contain approximately 20 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of recoverable gas. Interpretation of the new seismic data is now underway to help define future horizontal drilling locations across the property. Financially, Underwood said Beetaloo is in its strongest position to date, with approximately A$125 million in available liquidity, including cash and undrawn credit facilities. He added that the company has no near-term plans to raise additional equity. Beetaloo has also entered a funding agreement with Territory Sands to establish a local sand supply for future hydraulic fracturing operations, with deliveries expected to begin next year. Beyond upstream operations, Beetaloo is advancing plans to support data centre infrastructure near Darwin after being awarded strategic land by the Northern Territory government. The company has signed an MOU with Halliburton related to power generation equipment and is working with third parties on a pipeline to transport larger gas volumes to Darwin. Underwood emphasized that the data centre initiative complements Beetaloo's core gas business, with external partners expected to provide much of the capital and expertise for downstream infrastructure. #proactiveinvetors #beetalooenergy #asx #btl #energy #NaturalGas #Energy #Australia #BeetalooBasin #EnergyTransition #OilAndGas #Infrastructure #DataCentres #EnergyNews

Beetaloo Energy Australia Limited (ASX:BTL, OTC:EEGUF) CEO Alex Underwood talked with Proactive at the ASX Small and Mid-Cap Conference about the company's progress in the Beetaloo Basin and the development of its Carpentaria project. Underwood outlined the scale of the Beetaloo Basin, describing it as “one of the largest gas deposits in the world, containing enough gas to power Australia for the next 200 years.” He explained that the company is currently in the appraisal phase, focused on proving the commercial viability of its gas resources while maintaining strong relationships with the Northern Territory government, traditional owners and local stakeholders. A key focus of the discussion was the Carpentaria pilot project, where Beetaloo Energy has already drilled multiple wells and completed fracture stimulation. The company also achieved a milestone with what Underwood described as “the biggest fracture simulation in Australian history” on the Carpentaria-5H well. Looking ahead, Underwood highlighted near-term catalysts including further flow testing, installation of gas processing infrastructure and commencing pilot production. He also stressed the growing importance of domestic energy supply, noting that Australia remains heavily reliant on hydrocarbons despite the push toward renewables. Underwood emphasised the broader investment case, pointing to a “massive gas resource” with increasing confidence in its economic viability and significant upside potential as development progresses.

Tamboran Resources Chair and Interim CEO Dick Stoneburner joined Steve Darling to announce a landmark transaction that will reshape the future of Australia's Beetaloo Basin. Tamboran has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Falcon Oil & Gas, a move that will create a Beetaloo Basin leader with approximately 2.9 million net prospective acres spanning the majority of the Beetaloo depocenter. The strategic combination represents the consolidation of two of the most advanced and active operators in the Beetaloo, forming a single entity with a pro forma market capitalization exceeding US$500 million. Both companies' Boards of Directors have unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, pending customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. Stoneburner explained that the acquisition will significantly bolster Tamboran's working interest in the Phase 2 Development Area, increasing its stake to 80.62%. This strengthened position will provide Tamboran with enhanced leverage and alignment as it advances toward its previously announced farmout process, a critical step in accelerating the development timeline for the basin. Additionally, the transaction will deliver further alignment with Daly Waters Energy, LP (DWE) across the entire EP 76, EP 98, and EP 117 acreage blocks, following the completion of the checkerboard process earlier this year. The move ensures a unified and streamlined development strategy across some of the most prospective areas of the basin. Under the terms of the agreement, Tamboran will acquire Falcon by purchasing all of its subsidiaries in exchange for 6,537,503 shares of Tamboran's NYSE-listed common stock along with a cash consideration of US$23.7 million. The enlarged Tamboran will emerge as a clear leader in the Beetaloo, with the technical capability, financial flexibility, and asset scale to advance commercialization and help meet growing demand for cleaner-burning natural gas both domestically and internationally. #proactiveinvestors #tamboranresources #asx #tbn #nyse #tbn #oil #gas #mining #falconoilandgas #tsxv #fo #aim #fog FalconOilAndGas #BeetalooBasin #ShaleGas #EnergySecurity #LNG #GasExploration #AustraliaEnergy #NaturalGas #OilAndGasNews

Tamboran Resources Ltd CEO Joel Riddle talked with Proactive about the company's newly signed letter of intent (LOI) with Arafura Resources Ltd to supply gas from the Beetaloo Basin. Riddle explained that both companies are based in the Northern Territory, and the agreement supports local strategic projects by providing 25 terajoules (TJs) per day to Arafura's critical minerals project. The agreement aligns with Tamboran's strategy of prioritising Northern Territory gas use. “We're a Northern Territory company. We've been focused on appraising the Beetaloo Basin now for all 12 years I've been in my job,” Riddle said, highlighting the company's long-term commitment to the region. Riddle also pointed out the environmental edge of Beetaloo Basin gas, which has a CO2 content of about 3%, significantly lower than the 15–20% typically found in other Australian basins. He said supplying this low-carbon gas to the East Coast would help reduce emissions by displacing higher-carbon alternatives. Discussing supply capacity, Riddle compared the Beetaloo to the Marcellus Shale in the US, noting it could provide enough gas to support the East Coast for “hundreds of years”. Tamboran plans to bring 40 TJs per day online in the first half of next year under an existing 15-year agreement with the NT Government. The Arafura deal will add a further 25 TJs daily. Riddle said work is underway with pipeline partner APA to ensure infrastructure capacity. The company aims to finalise a binding gas sales agreement with Arafura soon. Watch the full interview to hear how Tamboran is positioning Beetaloo gas as a key part of the East Coast supply solution, while supporting Northern Territory industry.

Together, we shared stories of resistance and resilience, built deeper relationships and stood in solidarity with Gomeroi & Gamilaraay custodians - whose land is being exploited by fossil fuel companies such as Whitehaven Coal and Santos.This is a recount of what happened over the course of that special weekend - the stories that were told, the fights that were shared, and the solidarity built between communities. (Thanks to Move Beyond Coal)When country expands beyond what your eyes can comprehend, melting into the horizon, it's beyond beautiful, and quite indescribable. This is what I experienced as I watched the landscapes change towards our destination, the colours of the trees and land changing every so often. I knew from this point, that the trip to Narrabri on Gomeroi country, where devastating coal and gas extraction projects are widespread, would be one to remember. On arrival, we were welcomed by Gomeroi custodian Karra Kinchela and her family, by the Namoi river, as the wind rustled through the trees and soon after, embraced the young dancers and Karra's cousin, Clinton Lamb, who led the welcome to country. The stars eventually dressed the night sky as the night crept in, whilst the Pacific Climate Warriors thanked those who welcomed us with their own traditional fijian kava ceremony. Joy and laughter filled the campsite of our initial meeting place, which would reflect the real essence of the people who were fighting for Gomeroi country in Narrabri.Our second day on Gomeroi country, Karra showed us around, first at a site in the Pilliga Forest where water is filtered through to the underground water and finds its way to sea. She talked about how even on country that is considered freshwater, it is still connected to saltwater, and that whatever happens on her country is inherently connected to all countries. This lit up the fire in many people and for some, only added wood to the fire. There were direct connections being made between the effects coal and gas companies like Whitehaven Coal and Santos had on Narrabri and those close by, but also to the ocean and the Pacific Islands.Karra continued the tour by taking us to the front gates of Santos' Lee Wood gas facility.. She described how mining companies enjoy interacting with communities in order to claim, through social licensing, that those communities support their plans. Karra explained that continuing to participate in rallies and actions for Gomeroi country is one of the best ways to combat these false claims of support. She went on to explain how Whitehaven Coal, with numerous coal mines in the area with plans to expand, has eaten a lot of their country. Whitehaven promises all of these jobs and benefits to the community and Indigenous peoples, but these promises are only fallacies, with only a select few hired; their attempt to divert everyone's attention away from the reality that they are not only destroying country, but endangering the lives of those who live in the towns where they mine.We then headed to Maules Creek for lunch, where we were joined by one of the local Gamilaraay elders, Uncle Neville Sampson, who alongside a few other locals who have been fighting fossil fuel projects in their community for decades  explained the history of their fights. Uncle Neville talked about his resilience, and the resilience of those who continue to ensure a future for his people.After lunch, there was an opportunity to visit one of the local farms, and I put my hand up straight away. Being from a small village myself, from a remote island, I wanted to explore what life looked like right next to a coal mine. I remember most of my childhood in my village of Bauz, on Mer Island, in what is colonially known as the Torres Strait. Being from somewhere so remote, with a close knit community, I wondered if I could see a reflection of home amongst the tour, whether in the landscapes or the people. On the tour, we stopped every so often, learning what it takes to farm in Narrabri, about pink slugs and the houses and lands that were sold due to people getting extremely sick from not just the dust in the air from the mines but the gas released from the explosions. One of the farms belonged to a elderly woman, who was constantly sick due to the fumes, and had eventually sold her land and house, which now remains empty. Mining giants seem to have every right to not only harm the environment, but even the people who live within the environment it wants to destroy. After visiting the farm, and patting horses whilst learning about how climate change has even affected what farmers choose to grow now, we returned to Maules Creek renewed and even more passionate about stopping Whitehaven Coal.On our last day, we held an action at  sunrise - in front of Whitehaven Coal's Tarrawonga coal mine. When we arrived at the mine, what was in front of me was not only confronting, but made me feel both physically and spiritually ill. How could anyone devour a land and make it so baron, how could anyone harm country in such a vicious and heartless way, knowing that this land is so inherently connected to Gomeroi people? The trauma that the land experiences translates into real trauma for those who descend from these lands. When you kill or harm a land, you kill or harm it's people. Comprehending this tragedy, one that is paid for, that seeks the destruction of this country to gain profit, was difficult, but it was a reality that had to be acknowledged. It is our reality, and thus our responsibility to ensure that Karra, her family, her people, are able to live, not just survive, on their country, safe and sound. We shared stories, songs and dances in front of the mine, whilst mining security guards watched us as they patrolled the parameters. I couldn't help but mourn for country, but I could also feel the strength of everyone in this space, especially the Gomeroi mob who were so kind and gracious in inviting us to their country to see the truth of this place with our own eyes. Together, in times of crisis, when politicians let us down, we must rally together, allowing our communities to speak for themselves. We can see hope in the First Nations communities fighting to protect the country from new coal and gas projects. We see it in the global demands from Pacific leaders for no new coal and gas, phase out plans and renewables expansion. I remember some of my last words with Uncle Neville, he told me to keep fighting, but to also remember, that I am stronger, and that no matter what, Gomeroi country is who he is, and he will always know and be a part of its land, water and sky. In solidarity, we can protect this country.With Kindness and Au Esuau,Meleika on behalf of Move Beyond CoalP.S. Now more than ever, we need to all stand together and show our politicians that we are building a movement that will outmatch the power of coal and gas corporations like Whitehaven Coal and Santos, who are destroying Gomeroi sacred country and willingly contributing to devastating climate impacts in the Pacific and more.Join Move Beyond Coal teams and grassroots climate groups across the country for a Week of Action from 4-12 December(link is external), to take action in our communities to Turn Up the Heat on Labor.Move Beyond Coalhttps://www.movebeyondcoal.com/

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW 13TH JUNE 2022 RADIOTHON - https://www.givenow.com.au/cause442THE MEDIA How did they bury climate action when most voters had it as their top concern?Produced by Vivien Langford Guests: John Grimes in Canberra -  CEO of the Smart Energy CouncilDominic Geiger in Brisbane  - Media Co Ordinator for Lock the Gate Alliance Fahimah Badrulhisham in Sydney - Wentworth Campaigner for Australian Religious Response to Climate Change SUMMARYWhy did the media bury the subject of climate action when so many voters had this as their top priority?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-10/climate-change-election-policies-scientists-give-verdicts/101020002 John Grimes was appalled that   parts of the media are now indulging the Nuclear Energy Solution while he predicts the ALP will surpass their own modelling of having 83% of our domestic energy from renewables by 2030. This interview is irresistably upbeat but we would like to know your response : climateaction3CR@gmail.comKetan Joshi found that while Legacy media de-prioritised Climate and the Environment, it was far and away the most discussed issed on Social Media. The 2022 Election result should not have been such a surprise to baby boomershttps://reneweconomy.com.au/the-political-and-media-establishment-ignored-climate-but-voters-didnt/ Dominic Geiger previously a journalist with the Dalby Herald in  QLD, tells us to go on Google Earth to see what damage the Fossil Gas Industry has done to beautiful farmland. The mainstreeam media might not be telling us about it but  he is not so worried by the Murdoch media monopoly in Qld,  because he says young people are all connected to social media and news on the Internet. However at Lock the Gates he is ardent to get us to realise that all the so called "gas basins.".. Seurat, Beetaloo and Bowen Basin are actually place where people live and where  there is an ecosystem to protect in this driest continent on earth. Journalists who blow in and refer to them as basins are doing the work or the gas and petroleium industry and a dis service to the heroic work of conservation by local people.https://www.lockthegate.org.au/energy_crisis_architect_santos_at_it_again_with_qld_coal_seam_gas_expansion Fahimah Badrulhisham  from ARRCC is enlivened by what can be achieved under the radar by social media. She realised that opiniion pieces in the Legacy media are only the opinion of one person. Social media allows the perspective of black and brown people, people in coal affected communities and people worried about the right being trampled on.  They communicate laterally and give each other heart. She participated in many actions in the Wentworth Electorate where a TEAL candidate, Allegra Spender,defeated the Liberal Party incumbent. The  community communication  at Forums and in social media  was way below the Legacy Media commentary and  was vindicated in her opinion by the change in government.https://www.arrcc.org.au/fahimahhttps://twitter.com/arrcc1/status/1527946349597310976
