Well done to Clonard students, Mia H, Montana M and Lauren D who attended a rally protesting against Viva Energy’s planned floating LNG import and regasification terminal on Corio Bay.
As Australia pledges to reduce methane emissions, Viva Energy pushes forward with plans for gas terminal on Geelong’s Corio Bay.

“We have this huge responsibility to take care of the world … I wanted to make it clear to everybody that now’s not the time to be accepting these gas terminals,” Dillon said.
“You realise that you have to take up the responsibility when the adults possibly don’t see the need to. I think a lot of young people are taking it very seriously.
