WA Government blacklisted as heritage vandals - again! READ MORE...

FARA urge all friends to write an email this week to the decision makers below expressing their personal disgust that Woodside and the WA government have allowed the Burrup to be re-listed on the World Monument Fund's Most Endangered Sites List for the 6th year running!! This is the third time the Burrup has been listed (biennial listing) and is the only Australian site ever nominated! Not something to be proud of! It is a shameful list for Australia to be part of and one that the WA Government and Woodside are ultimately responsible for! Stand up for the Burrup!
