Woodside AGM Protest Signals Pressure on Australia’s LNG Sector

Activists have disrupted Woodside Energy Group Ltd.’s annual general meeting as Australia’s liquefied natural gas industry faces increasing domestic scrutiny over windfall export profits during the war in Iran.

New Chief Executive Officer Liz Westcott’s address to the event in Perth on Thursday was interrupted by whistles, whale noises and protesters clapping and singing. The live feed was briefly cut when a protester stormed the stage and was removed by security.
