Episode Details

Australia’s first new oil refinery in 60 years is set to be led by Indian-owned Perth-based Perdaman, a company already building the world’s largest urea plant next year. While the project promises thousands of jobs and greater energy self-reliance, it’s sparking controversy near Murujuga — a culturally sacred Indigenous site with tens of thousands of ancient rock carvings. Traditional owners have raised concerns over consultation and site access, though Perdaman insists it’s followed all protocols. The refinery’s exact location remains under discussion, with potential sites in WA’s Midwest and South West, as the government backs the project with major loans.
