The gas and oil company Woodside’s plan to conduct seismic blasting for a major fossil fuel development in northern Western Australia has been stopped indefinitely after a court found it had not properly consulted traditional owners.
Mardudhunera woman Raelene Cooper, a founder of the organisation Save Our Songlines, had applied for a judicial review of a decision by the offshore petroleum regulator to allow Woodside to start seismic blasting for the controversial $16.5bn Scarborough gas development.
