Ask Parliament to pass Zali Steggall’s Stopping PEP11 Bill, a law to ban offshore oil and gas drilling between Manly and Newcastle.

If the idea of an oil spill from the Great Australian Bight hitting the beaches in Sydney freaked you out, Advent Energy's PEP 11 proposal will do your head in. PEP 11 (Petroleum Exploration Permit 11) is a 4,500 square km zone of the ocean from Manly to Newcastle that will be opened up for oil and gas exploration. Despite opposition from Newcastle, Central Coast and Northern Beaches local councils, the federal government continues to push this harmful and risky project on our community. At the moment dozens of whales are travelling through this zone daily on their traditional migratory paths north. PEP 11 has the potential to significantly impact this whale 'highway' and major environmental assets between Sydney and Newcastle. Stay tuned!

Equinor has announced that it will abandon its plans to drill in the Great Australian Bight. 🐋

✊This is a huge result for local communities, traditional owners and everyone who has had their voices heard.

The people have clearly demonstrated they want the Bight protected from oil drilling and it is time for the Australian Government to provide permanent protection.

This result would not have been possible without the communities and organisations that came together to as a part of the Great Australian Bight Alliance

Thank you Surfrider Foundation Australia , The Wilderness Society, The Wilderness Society South Australia , Sea Shepherd Australia , Patagonia and so many more local community groups, local councils and people right across Australia!

New Year - New You 🎉🎉

Get yourself up before the rest of the world - Start with 7am, then push it back in 15 minute increments each day until you’re at 5:30am.

Do some movement...
A walk, jog, yoga or some body weight exercises.

Go to your local lookout and watch the sun come over the horizon. This is the most magical part of the day!

Buy a journal and do a brain dump every morning...

Pick up rubbish in your favourite places to visit and take some ownership of that space.

Hold for 8...
Out for 8...
Then do it 10 times.
