FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Woodside Petroleum has left Bob Brown feeling wounded after the oil and gas giant cancelled a planned meeting with the former Greens leader about the James Price Point gas hub.
Dr Brown and fellow activists are currently on the Sea Shepherd ship “Steve Irwin”, making their way to Broome in Western Australia’s Kimberley region to protest against the Browse gas project, particularly its impact on whales.
On Friday, Dr Brown replied to a stinging letter from Woodside chairman Michael Chaney, asking him to reconsider having a meeting.
Mr Chaney’s letter on Thursday centred on a recent article by prominent Sydney businessman Geoffrey Cousins that took swipes not just at the project but at Mr Chaney and former Woodside chief executive Don Voelte.
Mr Chaney argued that a meeting with Mr Cousins had resulted in an “inaccurate, misleading, cynical and selective” article, so he decided – after learning Mr Brown was en route to Broome to protest – to cancel the meeting.
“You don’t know how hurt I am,” Dr Brown told AAP on Friday.
“I wasn’t going to lecture anybody. I wanted to hear what he had to say but also give good advice, because I think it’s in Woodside’s interest to desist from James Price Point.
“A bit of a discussion with Chaney and (Woodside chief executive Peter Coleman) would have done no harm.”
Dr Brown said Mr Chaney was angry, jumping at shadows and fearful of meeting with someone who knew a lot about the Kimberley environment.
Opposition to the proposal had mounted dramatically of late and had begun to attract international coverage, and the campaign was only going to get bigger, he said.
Dr Brown said the Sea Shepherd protesters didn’t want to stop the project entirely, just see it transferred to the Pilbara region or moved out to sea as a floating development.
“James Price Point will hurt Woodside enormously if they proceed with it,” Dr Brown said.
He said he planned to hold talks with the other Browse project participants, including BHP Billiton, in coming months.
