Woodside’s proposed Scarborough gas project would be “detrimental to the finances of Woodside shareholders, as well as the climate” according to the International Energy Agency’s report released yesterday

Woodside’s $16.4 billion Scarborough LNG may be too expensive for its aim to “prosper in a low-carbon world”, according to International Energy Agency’s analysis.

As this decision was made this week, surely the WA Environment Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson has the same duty of care. Therefore cannot sign off on Scarborough gas

Congratulations to our friends at Fossil Free UTAS for their hard work pushing for divestment. We want Curtin University to follow their lead and divest from fossil fuels too.

After the death of a worker on a Chevron site, a court jury found Chevron 70% at fault for his death and awarded his widow $2 million. Chevron argued the circumstances were not ‘tragic’ enough to warrant $2million.
WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS COMPANY???

Curtin University need to seriously consider the partnership with these monsters.

The Covid Commission is corrupt and corrosive and full of fossil fuel bosses who have a one track mind which is hell bent on more polluting fossil gas.

Mark McGowan was quoted as saying 'The jobs created by Chevron's Death Star total more than a million. This is a good thing for the Galaxy'
And in totally unrelated news, there was a great disturbance in the force today...

As students we want an education that won't force us into an unstable industry. Especially one which facilitates the fossil fuel industry and therefore the Climate Crisis. Our first meeting about Chevron's Centre at Curtin is in the next couple of weeks. Who wants to get involved?

At Curtin University we have the which researches 'corrosion related to the petroleum, mining, defence, and chemical processing industries'. As part of their research we'd like to know if they have found Chevron's political donations to be corrosive to our democracy?

The Centre offers an internationally recognized Master in Corrosion Engineering, Graduate Certificate and Diploma, undergraduate courses and training.
