Today, we've made incredible progress in bringing about change at Woodside's Annual General Meeting, where a historic vote of 16.6% against Chairperson Richard Goyder was recorded. Given it is a vote against a chair who has no succession plan - that should make the next director up for re-election nervous.
We also saw a world-record backlash against any fossil fuel company's climate strategy with 58.36% of shareholders showing their dissatisfaction with Woodside's plan - the only time that a company has ever lost majority support over climate, beating the previous record by nearly 10%.
This is the largest vote against a company's climate strategy ever - not just in Australia, but in the world!
Our big backyard is at breaking point. The world has just experienced its hottest March on record, forests in Western Australia are on the brink of collapse, and on the other side of our country the Great Barrier Reef has just had its most severe coral bleaching event ever recorded.
This climate destruction we're witnessing is fuelled by burning fossil fuels and Woodside Energy - the largest Australian-owned climate polluter - is planning to massively expand climate-wrecking gas projects. If Woodside's plans are given the green light by the Albanese Government, our Reef, precious forests and communities will suffer.
