The Australia Institute's research reveals the government’s approval of a 40-year extension to Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal will dramatically increase pollution, while acid rain threatens the destruction of one of the world's largest and most diverse collections of rock art engravings, assembled continuously over the past 50,000 years. The Murujuga rock art is twice as ancient as the Lascaux cave paintings in France and eight times older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge.

This 12-minute video report presented by Walkley Award winning journalist and former ABC 4 Corners reporter Stephen Long, The Fight to Save Murujuga, will be screened. Following this, Stephen Long will be in discussion with Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director at The Australia Institute.
