Occupy Chevron Australia: Freeze Chevron

The Occupy Sydney Change Chevron Team are calling for the Australian Government to freeze Chevron Australia"s assets in Australia until Chevron fulfils its Court ordered resoonsibility to pay $17billion in compensation to indigenous and local oeople in the region of Ecuador which Chevron subsidiary Texaco polluted.

In addition we are calling for a global boycott of all Chevron products until the Ecuadorean case is satisfactorily settled. In Australia DONT BUY CALTEX/WOOLWORTHS FUEL.
Chevron is building the Gorgon Gas field at offshore Western Australia and has a major share of the nearby Browse field. Gorgon is ranked the biggest infrastructure project in Australia measured by cost. In partnership with Woolworths, Chevron Australia are also 50% joint owners of Caltex/Woolworths branded retail Service Stations.
Argentina have frozen Chevron assets in suoport of this issue. Brazil and otherv South American countries are expected to follow suit. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-20246295
