Murujuga petroglyphs - putting a "very rosy spin" on the scientific findings

"Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt was advised emissions from Woodside's Karratha Gas Plant may be having an adverse effect on the rock art, before he granted the company an extension to keep operating there for another 40 years."

"A top statistician says he quit a landmark study into whether heavy industry is damaging ancient rock art in Western Australia's north after the government misrepresented his team's key finding. Misstating the results of an expensive scientific investigation is unacceptable and I think that's what's happened."

"The Burrup Peninsula,
in WA’s northwest, known as Murujuga to traditional owners, contains the world’s largest and oldest collection of petroglyphs."

"Disrupt Burrup Hub claims Woodside’s operations in the area and its proposed expansion could produce billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2070 and damage the ancient artefacts."
