Woodside Energy fails in its Supreme Court bid to compel three climate activists to hand over documents connected to a “stench gas” protest at its Perth headquarters. According to multiple reports, the protest involved plans for a stink-bomb-style action that led to the evacuation of thousands of workers from the corporate site. The company sought access to documents as part of broader legal action against the activists, including efforts to extend proceedings to additional people. The court dismisses the application, preventing Woodside from obtaining the requested materials at this stage. The outlets describe the matter as a dispute over whether Woodside can obtain evidence from the activists through compulsory disclosure. While the reports agree on the outcome—Woodside’s application is dismissed—they differ only in wording, including the framing of the incident as a “stink-bomb” or “stench gas” event and the details of Woodside’s broader efforts. The decision leaves the company without the court-ordered document handover it sought regarding the protest planning.
