Don't forget Woodside has a tumultuous past with indiginous, it is retaliation because they won't let things in the past go.

The head of one of Australia's mining giants says she supports the Voice to Parliament, but won't commit to following its advice.
Speaking at the National Press Club on Wednesday, Woodside chief executive Meg O’Neill acknowledged the company moved culturally-significant Indigenous rock art in WA during the 1980s, but claimed it was done "in a way that was culturally sensitive at the time".
Advocates have decried the explanation as "deeply offensive" and are demanding Ms O'Neill guarantee 50,000-year-old rock art on the Burrup peninsula, located in sight of a major Woodside operation, won't be damaged if the company expands.

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek last year approved a fertiliser company's plans to build a plant in the area, which will require the removal of rock art at three sites. The plan had been paused after an outcry from Traditional Owners.
