Two Broome women, aged in their sixties, have taken an extraordinarily brave step to stop work on Woodside's planned industrial complex on the Kimberley coast. Ali Batten and Julie Weguelin, both pensioners, have chained themselves to a vehicle blocking the access road to James Price Point.

Thank you to the hundreds of supporters from all over the country who joined in activities on our National Day of Action for the Kimberley, in solidarity with the people of Broome. Watch the video here.
