Greenpeace delivers 47-metre Save Scott Reef petition to Woodside HQ following gas platform protest
Greenpeace Australia Pacific will present a 47 metre-long petition outside Woodside HQ, calling on the government to stop Woodside’s Browse project and save Scott Reef. The petition is one of Australia’s biggest environmental petitions with almost 500,000 signatures.
On the sidelines of the Perth Global Citizen Now event, it comes following a major two day-long protest at Woodside’s Scarborough gas platform. The activists were taken from the platform by police helicopter on Sunday afternoon.
Media are invited to film the petition, with Greenpeace Australia Pacific CEO David Ritter available for comment.
A local choir wearing sea creature costumes and hats will perform a ‘Scott Reef’ rendition of Angie McMahon’s iconic environmental version of ‘Reckless’ by Australian Crawl, sung by Greenpeace Australia Pacific activists in April at Woodside’s AGM.
