About the episode

The Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt has approved a major extension of the North West Shelf Gas Project in Western Australia. It’s one of the nation’s most valuable offshore gas reserves — operated by Woodside, which wants to extend its life by another 40 years. Based on the Pilbara’s Burrup Peninsula also known as Murujuga, the project sits within an area of immense cultural and environmental significance.
