Protection & Justice for Timor Sea

Protection & Justice for Timor Sea is a First Nations-led initiative working to protect the Timor Sea from offshore gas expansion and industrialisation. Led by Antonia Burke, a First Nations woman with ancestral ties to coastal Country in the Northern Territory, the campaign aims to safeguard the sea, culture and livelihoods of Tiwi Islanders and all coastal communities that depend on the Timor Sea.

Groundswell Grants

2024

20000

This grant supported Protection & Justice for Timor Sea to strengthen a First Nations-led campaign against offshore gas expansion across the Timor Sea region. The work brought together saltwater communities from Australia, Timor-Leste, West Timor and Indonesia, supported advocacy for stronger protection of offshore cultural heritage, and helped coordinate political, legal, financial and communications strategies. It also backed relationship-building across the broader climate and anti-gas movement, with First Nations law, culture and leadership at the centre.

Wherever we are in this country, we are on Country.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to the cultures, knowledge and stories they carry. That knowledge comes from tens of thousands of years of living with, caring for and protecting Country. It is why, for us, climate action cannot be separated from Country or from First Nations leadership, and why we are committed to listening, learning and backing First Nations-led climate action.
