John Butler and Mama Kin hooked up for charity and released ‘Losing You’ to aid in the protecting of the Kimberley region in WA. The Kimberley region is under threat from the proposed gas processing precinct at James Price Point, just 60 kms from Broome.
All proceeds from the sale of the intimate acoustic rendition of ‘Losing You’ will assist the Broome Community No Gas campaign to aid members who have conducted a peaceful blockade and continue in their fight to stop the clearing of the land at James Price Point. Both John Butler and Mama Kin feel strongly about the campaign to protect the Kimberley and have offered their ongoing support. It is in the Kimberley area where they first met and since that initial trip they have built very strong personal relationships with local indigenous community members in the region, including Goolarabooloo Law Boss Joseph Roem a strong voice in opposition to the gas plant from the beginning.
Butler has said, “We believe the Kimberley is a region that needs to be protected for generations to come; not be plundered for short term economic gain. By processing the gas in the Pilbara using existing facilities, the Browse Basin gas can be exploited and its economic benefits reaped without destroying one of the most pristine places on this planet. We hope that proceeds from this song can help those fighting to save this beautiful part of the world. Because you never know what you got till it’s gone.”
