Fossil fuel giant Woodside has criticised a legal case being pursued against it by Greenpeace as “without merit”.
Greenpeace alleges that Woodside has been misrepresenting its climate performance and plans. It also claims Woodside said it had cut its climate pollution from extracting and processing its gas and oil by 11% in 2022, but it relied on “carbon offsets” and its actual emissions went up by more than 3%.
In a statement, the company said it would vigorously defend itself:
Woodside believes that Greenpeace’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.
Woodside invests significant time and effort into preparing its public reports, having regard to both its legal obligations and its desire to inform investors and other stakeholders.

Richard Marles to consider request for Australian warship in Red Sea ‘in due course’
The defence minister is holding a press conference in Darwin. He been asked about the US request for Australia to send a warship to the Red Sea, amid ongoing attacks on commercial shipping from Iran-backed militia.
Marles says the request will be carefully considered, but he’s not exactly enthusiastic about it.
We will consider this request in due course, but I would note that the focus of our naval efforts right now is on our immediate region.
I want to emphasise the focus of our efforts is on our immediate region and the regional presence deployments that we have been engaged in over the last few months. They have been critically important in terms of asserting Australia’s national interest in freedom of navigation.
