Summary

Meg O’Neill, Woodside’s CEO, criticized young people for supporting fossil fuels without understanding their environmental impact during a conference where the government is focusing on increasing gas production and improving approval processes. Climate advocates called her hypocritical, while Woodside awaits the environment minister’s decision on extending gas production until 2070, which critics fear will worsen the climate crisis.
