Episode Details

Woodside Energy is suing climate activists over a 2023 protest stunt that involved a stink bomb at their Perth HQ, claiming hours of downtime and demanding damages — but the real drama’s just beginning. The company wants to identify more suspects beyond the three already convicted, arguing the protest was part of a larger coordinated effort, citing other actions like a raid on a former CEO’s home. Activists fire back, calling the lawsuit a scare tactic to silence dissent — saying police already uncovered everything and that Woodside’s push is harassment. The judge is skeptical, demanding concrete evidence beyond suspicion, and has paused the case while he weighs whether Woodside can legally force activists to reveal more names. This clash underscores the growing legal and moral battle between corporate power and protest — and the court’s decision could set a precedent for how activism is policed in the climate fight.
