Content Summary:

(notes from Janet Hawley) A highly controversial project , to develop the huge Browse Basin gas reserves, and build a major processing hub and industrial base on James Price Point, just north of Broome - with many arguing sectors. The pro-development WA Government, the oil and gas corporations; the various Aboriginal communities, differing factions and their leaders and spokespersons; the environmentalists who are against the huge development, and the local Broome folk. And the Federal Government. In 2008 I was asked by the Save The Kimberley organisation, to write a major feature explaining all sides of the Browse Basin Gas Fields project. George Negus and Kirsty Cockburn initiated the invitation. It was a mammoth feature to undertake, needing vast research and numerous background interviews.
