On the day of its fiery AGM, Woodside spilled 16,000 litres of oil into the Indian Ocean north of Ningaloo. It also thinks a damaging oil spill from it drilling near Scott Reef for Browse gas is "only a mere theoretical possibility." www.boilingcold.com.au/woodside-spi...

So many Liberal MPs and officials are actively backgrounding journalists, blaming some colleague or thing on the election result. I know they want to believe the problem is not them individually, but you can’t solve a problem until you admit it exists! Less backgrounding, more soul searching needed!
