Woodside has been gaslighting the government, the legal system and the Australian public by making misleading claims about their consultation with me. The truth is that Woodside’s approach to consultation with me has been arrogant and disrespectful from day one.

These destructive atrocities still continue in our nation and I continue to call it out. As traditional custodians, our obligation is to protect land and sea. The government has lied to the Australian people and they have lied to First Nations people of this country.”

"Woodside has once again been given the all-clear to carry out seismic testing after an earlier approval was ruled invalid by the Federal Court.
Last month Raelene Cooper had criticised Woodside saying she had only been consulted once since the hearing"
