Update on the Kimberley gas project

It is confirmed-INPEX will now build its gas processing plant in the NT, saving the Kimberley from this type of development for now.

Who would have thought when Bamba sang Bran Nue Dae back in 1989 that the Kimberley would need to fight to keep its beauty and that the State Government of Western Australia and the Kimberley Land Council would support fouling the most beautiful place on earth. The ABC's Four Corners show really highlighted to the people of the East Coast of Australia that the Kimberley may well be worth saving.

If you didn't get a chance to see Albert Wiggan and Pat Lowe and Maria Mann from Environs Kimberley and of course "Tux" from SavetheKimberley be sure to check out the whole show here
