Episode Details

A major legal showdown is unfolding in Western Australia as conservation groups sue the Environment Minister to halt a 40-year gas project extension at Woodside’s North West Shelf hub. The case centers on claims the minister ignored climate impacts and misjudged economic factors tied to an unapproved Woodside project — while also failing to protect 40,000-year-old rock art sacred to the Murujuga people. Woodside defends the approval as thoroughly reviewed, but critics warn the extension could unleash four billion tonnes of emissions — ten times Australia’s annual output. With court proceedings set to begin Tuesday, this case could reshape Australia’s energy future and the balance between profit, culture, and climate.
