Woodside seem to think they are a law unto themselves!! The way they are vandalising this country is appalling, It's like the Barnett government have said to them-- go ahead do what you want to do and we will cover it up for you!! -- Well !! they are wrong they will be exposed for all the wrong that they are doing & have done!! They will be exposed for what they are.
