The Wire

Woodside Petroleum’s proposed large-scale gas hub at James Price Point near Broome, has long been a controversial project. There have been legal challenges and strong community opposition, and now it’s subject to concerns over how its environmental assessment has been determined. Western Australia’s Environmental Authority – the EPA – is expected to hand down the report into their assessment of the project on Friday, but this has been prepared by the chairman of the Board alone, with the four other members removed from the decision due to conflicts of interest.
