For Western Port

This film has been made as a response to AGL’s proposed gas import terminal at Crib Point on Western Port. We strongly believe that Western Port is not the right site for industrialisation. We respect its status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Ramsar wetland that sustains many interconnected forms of life.
