Next in our movement skills training series: De-escalation Training - with Mary Heath

This training will focus on how to identify, think about and respond to situations of rising tension and increasingly agitated behaviour in order to keep people safer and maintain focus on the goals of protest action.

Though this training will focus on de-escalation in protest settings—these skills are equally useful at work, and home and in other community settings.

📅 MONDAY 11 May | 5:30–8:30pm

We received overwhelming support our No New Gas! Q&A. ✊

Over 150 people gathered to hear from a powerful delegation of Traditional Owners and frontline community leaders directly impacted by Santos gas projects.
We were honoured to listen to voices including:
-Uncle Jack Green, Garrawa Senior Elder and award-winning artist from Borroloola, NT.
-Karra Kinchela, Gomeroi Traditional Custodian from Narrabri, NSW.
-and representatives from PNG raising urgent concerns about the Papua LNG project.
We experienced the profound stories conveyed through Uncle Jack Green’s art, alongside heartfelt testimonies from all panel members about how Santos’ expansion threatens First Nations land, communities, and vital water sources across the Beetaloo Basin, Narrabri/Piliga forest, and Papua LNG regions.
Coinciding with the forum, we met with advisors from Minister Emily Bourke’s office, SATC CEO Emma Terry, and a representative for the Premier, where delegation members raised concerns about Santos’ promotion at government events.

⏩️ We call on the State government to ban fossil fuel promotion at government events and urge the Federal government to reject all new gas expansion projects impacting First Nations land.

Expired for 16 years! And yet the Santos sign is still up at Adelaide University. These students, staff and campaigners are calling for it to be taken down.

“We will look back at a public university, like Adelaide University, promoting big gas on one of its buildings in the same way that we now look back at big to***co sponsoring sporting events” said Dr Meg Good from Australian Conservation Foundation.

Student Tim Pickering is right, we can’t normalise fossil fuel sponsorships, particularly of institutions like Adelaide University that are the homes of education and have a “commitment to sustainability ”.

Adelaide University is starting anew after a huge merger. Right now they are considering renaming this building and removing the Santos name, over 16 years after the sponsorship with the fossil fuel company ended.

We stand with staff and student and encourage Adelaide University to embrace a new start and dump Santos from the Petroleum Engineering Building!

Have you heard?? Adelaide University is considering removing the Santos name from their engineering building 🔥

Today students and staff gathered outside the Santos engineering building to call on Vice Chancellor Nicola Phillips to dump the santos name from the building.

“Adelaide University should not be promoting Santos and their dirty gas.” said CCSA Nature Camaigner and Adelaide University student Darcey McNamara. “Not to mention, this is the only building on campus with a corporation name on it.”

Darcey is one of many Adelaide University students calling on the institution to stand by their “commitments to sustainability and Indigenous communities”.

This comes off the back of a 150 person rally at the Santos AGM on Thursday, where Traditional Owners and community leaders from the frontlines of Santos gas projects spoke on the impacts to the environment, water and health of their communities.

Dr Meg Good of also spoke to ABC on the Santos’ dirty gas projects, citing a recent poll that found DemosAU polling in March that found 74 per cent of South Australians agreed or strongly agreed “gas companies like Santos should be required to pay for environmental damage caused by their operations”.

Amid this growing movement, it’s time for Adelaide University to listen to to students, staff, First Nations people, and community members and finally dump Santos from uni buildings!

YOU BLEW US AWAY!

This morning over 100 people gathered outside the Santos AGM to call for a stop to santos’ dirty gas expansions.

There was no ignoring us - Santos executives and shareholders had to walk by and witness Traditional Owners, community leaders and environmental campaigners speaking out about Santos’ dirty gas.

The media showed up in droves to catch a glimpse of this powerful, growing movement.

It was so powerful to hear the voices of those living on the frontlines of Santos gas projects - Garrawa Senior Elder Jack Green, Gomeroi Traditonal Custodian Karra Kinchela and Joseph Ka’au Tribal Leader from Papua New Guinea. Their speeches were complemented by the motivating words of Senior Burka Man Karl Winda Telfer, ACF CEO Adam Bandt, and CCSA CEO Kirsty Bevan.

Did you miss out on our epic rally? Don’t you fret - TOMORROW at 5pm we are hosting a No New Gas Q&A where you can hear from the delegation. Uncle Jack Green, award winning artist, will also have his art on display and for sale!

As we joined Traditional Owners and allies at the Santos AGM today, We heard that Adelaide University is now considering removing the Santos name from its Petroleum Engineering Building - after more than 20 years.

The building is the only corporately named building on campus, and a university committed to "building a better future" shouldn't be lending its name and reputation to a company threatening First Nations sacred sites and our climate.

Join us on campus this Saturday! 18th of April, 12:00pm outside the Santos Petroleum Engineering building, where we will call on the Vice Chancellor Nicola Philips to Dump Santos from campus!
