"Our nation's Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Malcolm Turnbull, has sold out on his prime obligation to fully protect Australia's and one of the world's great rock art sites," Greens Leader Bob Brown said today.
"He has given more of the stunning Burrup art site across to the bulldozers and acid rain for the big corporations. There are good alternative sites for processing the gas, but nothing will ever reverse the loss of the rock art involved."
"If this failure of a Minister was in charge of Stonehenge he'd let developers flog off an upright and claim he had saved most of it. It is a shameful decision and I call on Shadow Minister Peter Garrett to promise to reverse it," Senator Brown said.
