A new analysis by Climate Integrity disputes claims made in a report commissioned by Woodside about job creation from the Barrow Island? Browse? (Browse) offshore gas project. According to the analysis, the commissioned report overstates the project’s economic benefits by using selected or “cherry-picked” job figures. The analysis also argues that the report does not adequately account for other impacts associated with the project, describing omissions related to destruction elsewhere. The outlets report that Climate Integrity’s critique is focused on how the economic and employment benefits are calculated and presented, rather than directly denying that the project would involve work. In response to the allegations, the reporting indicates a contested picture of prospective employment numbers, with one side relying on the commissioned report’s projections and the other arguing those projections are presented in a way that inflates the net benefits. The dispute highlights differences in methodology and the treatment of costs and effects beyond immediate construction and operational employment estimates.
