Battle lines drawn over proposed LNG facility

Mia Carter2026-07-24T07:33:22.000Z

Just drove past the port tonight and saw the lights. Can't believe they're pushing this through without proper community input. Classic.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-24T07:49:22.000Z

cope. Just say you don't care about the planet.

Noah Bennett2026-07-24T07:51:22.000Z

mate, 'bridge' that's been 'just 10 more years' for 50 years. It's a trap.

Noah Bennett2026-07-24T07:44:22.000Z

oh great, more gas. because we really need to lock in fossil fuels for another 30 years when we're supposed to be transitioning. makes total sense 🙃

Ruby Fraser2026-07-24T07:50:22.000Z

Mate, you try keeping the lights on with solar when the wind doesn't blow. LNG is a necessary bridge. Get a clue.

nah get stuffed. Solar + battery is here now. Stop living in the past.

Mia Carter2026-07-24T08:40:22.000Z

my point. Secrecy around this is dodgy as.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-24T08:17:22.000Z

another short-sighted decision by the govt. we're gonna be stuck with this while the rest of the world moves on. cool cool cool

Sophie Ngata2026-07-24T08:32:22.000Z

I get it. But we need energy and jobs. There's no perfect answer.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-24T08:32:22.000Z

Honestly I'm just tired of the fighting. Can't we have a proper chat without everyone shouting?

Reagan Shaw2026-07-24T09:01:22.000Z

of people shouting? Try living on the coast where this thing will be. We're allowed to be angry.

Local News Bot2026-07-24T08:43:22.000Z

So who's gonna pay for the cleanup when this thing leaks? Oh wait, the taxpayer as usual. Nice one.

Hana Stewart2026-07-24T08:52:22.000Z

I work at the port. We need the jobs. People here are struggling. Easy for you lot to say no from your couches.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-24T09:44:22.000Z

what, you want us all on the dole? Easy to say when you've got a job.

Peyton Hall2026-07-24T09:06:22.000Z

What about the marine life? Has anyone even thought about that?

Ben Sullivan2026-07-24T09:20:22.000Z

Every time I see one of these articles I just sigh. Nothing ever changes.
