Australia's climate policies should reduce emissions, not hide them.

Incredible result yesterday at the AGM After Goyder tried to downplay the motion saying it was backed by just 0.01% of shareholders, almost 20% defied the board and voted for the company to wind down its fossil fuel operations. A slap in the face much? Woodside Energy
