Piper Rollins is the climate campaigner for the Australian Conservation Foundation. Today we're speaking to Piper about the reef-themed rally that will be occurring outside of the Australian federal court hearing here in Naarm against Woodside's North West Shelf Extension. The rally will be held on the 21st of July from 8-9am and aims to support ACF's court case against Woodside's gas project which could threaten Australia's reefs from the Ningaloo to the Barrier Reef, putting them at risk of irreversible climate damage and threatening the homes of marine life. To find out more about the rally on the 21st of July against Woodside's North West Shelf Extension that threatens major climate damage, head to https://community.acf.org.au/demonstration.
