绿色和平组织在珀斯进行的民调显示，71%的都市选民反对Woodside在西澳州西北部斯科特礁附近钻探Browse天然气项目，以及在金伯利地区进行水力压裂的计划1。这项调查于6月22日至7月5日期间在12个珀斯联邦选区开展，共有1200多名居民参与1。民调结果反映出选民对现状的不满：仅五分之一的珀斯选民认为西澳州从现有天然气产业获得公平交易，而一半受访者认为现有安排对产业过度有利1。此外，88%的受访者对现有项目感到担忧1。
大多数选民支持的替代方案是强制液化天然气出口商每年履行15%的国内储备义务，而非依赖新的开采项目或水力压裂1。同时，约三分之二的选民支持可再生能源目标1。对此，Woodside发言人辩称Browse项目"有潜力为西澳州和全国创造数千个直接和间接就业机会，以及数十亿美元的税收和特许权使用费"1。西澳州政府也为该项目辩护，指出今年前三个月可再生能源占发电量46%，高于2017年当选时的14%1。
A poll conducted by Greenpeace reveals that Perth voters overwhelmingly oppose further gas expansion in Western Australia, with 71% opposing the Browse liquefied natural gas project proposed by Woodside near Scott Reef in the state's northwest, as well as the prospect of hydraulic fracturing in the Kimberley region 1. The survey, which included more than 1,200 residents across 12 Perth federal electorates between June 22 and July 5, found that voters instead favour stronger domestic gas obligations over new projects 1.
Rather than relying on additional drilling or unconventional extraction methods, the majority of respondents support requiring liquefied gas exporters to meet a 15% annual domestic reserve obligation 1. The findings reveal broader discontent with current energy arrangements, with only one in five Perth voters believing the state receives a fair deal from its existing gas industry, and half believing current arrangements favour the industry excessively 1. Support for renewable energy targets runs high, with two-thirds of respondents backing such goals 1.
The Western Australian government has defended the Browse project, with a Woodside spokesperson stating that it "has the potential to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs for Western Australia and the nation, as well as billions of dollars in tax and royalty revenue" 1. The government also highlighted renewable energy progress, noting that renewables accounted for 46% of electricity generation in the first three months of this year, compared to 14% when it took office in 2017 1.
