THE push by petroleum giant Royal Dutch Shell to drill for oil and gas 50km off Western Australia’s spectacular Ningaloo Reef could jeopardise efforts to have the area listed on the World Heritage register.
With a decision likely by June, West Australian Premier Colin Barnett admits he is worried.
“If there was drilling anywhere in the vicinity of the stunning Ningaloo Reef, that would certainly compromise any application for World Heritage listing,” Mr Barnett said.
The federal government nominated Ningaloo for World Heritage in January last year, and Shell’s plan to drill in the iconic marine area for 60 days from about September sparked a public outcry when it was revealed by The Australian. last week.
Sites granted World Heritage status are deemed to have a universal value “that transcends the value they hold for a particular nation”.
Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke, who is considering the application, said he was concerned “about just how close this is to a magnificent, pristine area designated for protection”.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
