Aboriginal heritage site threatened
PERTH — Protests were held outside Woodside Petroleum's office on January 22 and 25 against Woodside's Pluto gas project on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia's Pilbara region. Protesters highlighted that if work proceeds on the unique heritage site, it will result in the destruction of a large number of Aboriginal rock carvings. The protests were called by the recently initiated Friends of Australian Rock Art.
