Divide over Woodside gas hub decision not so black and white | The Australian
MERVYN Maher and Phillip Roe are both Aboriginal men from the northwest, yet the difference in their opinions on whether Woodside's $30 billion gas hub north of Broome should go ahead is as wide as a Kimberley sky.
As Goolarabooloo man Mr Roe returned to a hero's welcome last night after the West Australian Supreme Court declared invalid the land acquisition process underpinning the massive project, Mr Maher, 43, a Jabbir-Jabbir man who works for the Kimberley Land Council, said he hoped the decision would not jeopardise opportunities for his people.
Despite being confronted with the full force and influence of Woodside and its bedfellows, dissenting communities are fighting might with right. Woodside Vs The Goodside
