Empire Energy Fracking Freebie

Posted on: Sat 28 Aug 2021

But 350.org has found evidence of dealings between the Liberal party, donors and Empire Energy that bring the efficacy of the deal into question – notwithstanding that the climate crisis demands we open up no new fossil fuel projects. Barry Mitchell spoke to 350’s Shani Tager.
