Woodside fails in its Supreme Court bid to compel three climate activists to hand over documents relating to a “stench gas” protest that led to the evacuation of workers from the company’s Perth corporate headquarters. Multiple outlets report that the court dismisses Woodside’s application seeking access to the activists’ records connected to the protest planning. The decision also limits Woodside’s attempt to extend its action beyond the three targeted individuals. The West Australian reports the judge rejects broader assertions by Woodside that additional people were involved, describing parts of the claim as speculation. ABC Australia and other outlets describe the underlying incident as prompting the evacuation, and frame the legal dispute as focused on document production rather than the protest itself. Across coverage, the shared outcome is that Woodside does not obtain the requested orders from the court to access the activists’ documents, and the company does not succeed in widening its pursuit to identify further alleged participants connected to the evacuation incident.
