Activists face prison time after Woodside gas rig stunt

Key points

  • Two activists have been charged after scaling a floating platform at Woodside's Scarborough gas site off Western Australia. The men spent a night on the platform on Saturday, protesting what they say are environmental threats to the nearby Scott Reef.
  • Police removed them and they face a charge of interfering with offshore petroleum operations, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment. They are due in the Karratha Magistrates Court on Monday.
  • Greenpeace says the protest was safe and peaceful, while Woodside calls it dangerous, reckless and illegal.
