The Australian Greens today released pictures taken yesterday of the West Atlas Oil Spill indicating the extent to which the oil had spread from the oil rig, and called on the Government to intervene in a situation that is clearly worse than originally reported.

“This spill is far more serious than both the company and the Government are saying. We were not prepared for the extent of what we saw,” said Senator Rachel Siewert, marine spokesperson for the Australian Greens.

“The Government must urgently intervene, to stand up to the oil company and start immediate action to protect these precious waters and the whale, turtle, fish and other species that call them home.”

The ABC is reporting here that Minister Ferguson says everything’s fine!!!
Well, if you stand on one leg and face NNE it DOES look smaller, but for the marine life it’s very very big and very very close
The Senator’s site will be updated with video and pecise co-ordinates of the oveflight soon, please visit and bookmark, share
