8 Addressing energy poverty a UN priority Current renewables can t deliver reliability and scale to lift billions from poverty Skyrocketing electricity demand dictates we must make more from everything we have coal, gas, uranium, renewables. 1.3 bn people without electricity; 2.7 bn without clean cooking facilities

9 The accidently infamous Curtis Island. World Heritage Committee meeting (Paris, June 2011) Advice from Australia of approval for GLNG project on Curtis Island seemingly misinterpreted: The World Heritage Centre and IUCN recall the Committee s position that exploration and development of oil and gas should not take place within World Heritage properties, as recognised in leading industry commitments to not explore for, or develop, oil and gas resources in natural World Heritage properties.

10 What difference a map might have made to the original advice provided by Australian governments Curtis Island Coal-seam gas exploration and development 0

11 The anti-coal movement took its cue......build the anti-coal movement and mobilise off the back of the community backlash to coal-seam gas. UNESCO has lodged a complaint to the Australian Government and will be inspecting the site in March What happens in Gladstone will have major implications which may limit other proposed new coal ports up the Queensland coast all of which are also in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and can help to mobilize a powerful constituency to protect the Reef from the impacts of the coal boom.

12 UNESCO monitoring mission report sets the stage......the current approach to the development and construction of Gladstone Harbour and on Curtis Island are not consistent with the highest standards of best practice, commensurate with status of an iconic World Heritage property, and those applied to other management challenges both within and outside World Heritage property s (sic) in Australia. (2012 Reactive Monitoring Mission report)

13 Coal and gas under coordinated attack Orchestrated global/domestic ENGO campaign aimed at shutting Queensland coal (and gas) industries down: > Misrepresent threat to Great Barrier Reef from shipping, dredging, port development. > Litigation: use the courts to stop or delay projects > Change the story of coal: change the perception of coal as backbone of the economy > Create investor uncertainty: create perception of risk over coal [fossil fuel] investments > Create a powerful link in the public mind between coal and health problems

14 The project (Fight for the Reef) is run jointly by WWF and the Australian Marine Conservation Society is a coalition initiated by the (Thomas) Foundation.

15 Social media declares GBR Marine Park dead in 2013

17 QRC pushing back with facts REEFVTS 24/7 ship monitoring, Townsville

18 Great Barrier Reef shipping, dredging facts o Neither an increase in shipping nor port dredging has been recorded as contributing to coral cover loss or historical decline in environmental health of GBR. o Ports accessed via designated, naturally-occurring deepwater channels under 24/7 reporting and monitoring (REEFVTS, Townsville). One incident in 10 years. o 22 dredging campaigns successfully managed by Abbot Point owner (NQ Bulk Ports) o Abbot Point 3 million cubic metre relocation approved over 5 years; limited by time and volume; 142 conditions include 150% reduction in fine particle pollution from Don and Burdekin Rivers. o The seafloor of the approved disposal area consists of sand, silt and clay and does not contain coral reefs or seagrass beds. Testing has confirmed there are no known contaminants. (GBRMPA) o The nearest coral reef is 40 km from the disposal site. o Port dredging portrayed as environmental bogey-man despite no documented evidence other than short term, localised turbidity. o Is Gladstone shipping channel duplication the next target for the activists campaign?

21 Changing the story of gas The Australia Institute (founding member anti-coal movement) Fracking the Future What Australians don t know about CSG $2.9 billion CSG surcharge Cooking up a price rise Mining the age of entitlement It should be recognised that The Australia Institute (TAI) is part of a wider movement to stop coal and coal seam gas development in Australia a movement that includes Greenpeace and Beyond Zero Emissions, so its motives are clear. APPEA statement, March 2014

22 Creating investor uncertainty

23 Creating a link between gas and public health Locals are doing everything they can to spread the word about the dangers of coal seam gas (CSG) mining. Debbi, a GetUp! member from Tara QLD, even drove 5 hours down to NSW to tell a community meeting what coal seam gas is doing to her kids' health.

24 Count on the debate intensifying...

25 State of play and next steps > June WHC welcomes progress by Australia on management of GBR but indanger listing still a threat for June 2015 meeting > End 2014 Long Term Sustainability Plan for GBR finalised and submitted to WHC > December 2014 first gas exports from Gladstone will attract ENGO focus > Ongoing ENGO campaign to demonise ports, dredging and shipping as key threats to GBR health; other anti-coal and gas tactics will continue to be pursued (e.g. today s TAI report on state government subsidies for mining) > Ongoing QRC ports campaign to highlight facts and science > First half 2015 possible Abbot Point Stage One dredging > June 2015 WHC meeting will consider possible GBR in-danger listing
