Petrol stopped flowing at BP's petrol station in Whalley Range when two scaffold tripods sprang up blocking the entrance and exits. Protesters alerted people to their neighbourhood's most prolific serial killer, BP.
The oil company are trying to rebrand themselves as a cleaner, greener company whilst their Tangguh gas project in West Papua threatens to destroy a huge area of forest and the life of tribal peoples living in seven surrounding villages. BP's massive investment also makes it profitable for Indonesia to continue their brutal occupation of the country, whereby hundreds are detained, tortured and imprisoned without trial. Tens of thousands have already been evicted from the land where their peoples have lived for thousands of years. West Papua is one of the wildest and most precious places left on the planet: one of the great rain forests in the world, home to tens of thousands of unique species.
