Dear Murujuga/FARA supporters,                                                               March 2022
 
So much has been happening up on Murujuga lately - so here’s a taste …
and a general call to action –

•  Hear more about it by tuning into our first AGM via Zoom next Sat 26 March at 1pm WA time. To be included, email schlaker@westnet.com.au and Peter will send you the link and necessary papers the day before 
• Join Murujuga custodians Josie Alec and Raelene Cooper next Sunday 27 March at 2-3pm WA time for an Online Yarning Circle about their campaign to stop further industrialisation of the Burrup 
• Josie and Raelene recently had a big win, after submitting an emergency heritage protection application to Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley. Minister Ley’s office has asked Indian company Perdaman to halt its plans for removing rock art to build its $4.6 billion urea fertiliser plant in the middle of the Burrup until the Minister can determine their application:
