Climate activists charged after Woodside offshore rig stunt

Key points

• Two Greenpeace activists have been charged after occupying an offshore gas platform to protest Woodside's planned gas developments. Chris Holden and Scott Mackenzie were charged with interfering with offshore petroleum operations, an offence carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment.
• They were granted bail with conditions, but must remain in custody for one more night due to a surety issue. Woodside said it halted operations at the platform during the protest and has since restarted them.
• Greenpeace maintains the protest was peaceful, while the WA Premier called it a dangerous act.
