One of the protesters, university student Matilda Lane-Rose, held a press conference outside WA’s state parliament two days after she was arrested, where she defended her action outside O’Neill’s home as peaceful and slammed Woodside’s gas projects as a disaster for the climate and indigenous heritage.
“In terms of her feeling threatened, I’d just like it to be known that there were over a dozen counter-terrorist police officers camped both inside and outside her property overnight,” she said.
“So I think that she was very, very protected on Tuesday, and there was no threat whatsoever posed by me, a 19-year-old carrying a bike lock.”

Congratulations, I can now put a name and a face to the Woodside climate criminals.

The orders, which were sought by O’Neill, include a condition that the campaigners may not “make any reference to person protected by any electronic means.”
And another voice is silenced while the planet litterally burns.
