Bill Shorten\u2019s review of oil spill risk in the Great Australian Bight must result in a commitment to banning drilling in the Bight, The Greens say.
\n\u201cConcerns over drilling in the Bight are biting. Bill Shorten must commit to acting on this review when it inevitably shows drilling in the Bight is not worth the risk,\u201d Greens environment and water spokesperson Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.
\n\u201cWe have seen Equinor\u2019s modelling. We have seen BP\u2019s modelling. An oil spill will devastate South Australia\u2019s economy, putting thousands of South Australians out of a job. It would destroy Australia\u2019s southern coastline.
\n\u201cThe Greens stand shoulder to shoulder with South Australians who overwhelmingly oppose drilling in the Bight.
\n\u201cThe Greens in the Senate are fighting for our tourism and fishing industries, our beautiful beaches and marine life. But we are also fighting for real action on climate change.
\n\u201cBill Shorten has finally woken up to the fight for the Bight, but without a commitment to no new coal, oil or gas, he isn\u2019t taking climate change seriously.\u201d
