  • Dozens of protesters descended across multiple locations on Friday as writer Tim Winton accused the state government of "doublespeak", over a major gas project approval.

The article discusses the escalating tensions between environmental protesters and the Australian government, focusing on recent events in Perth. Protesters have targeted Woodside Energy's headquarters and the office of Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King, leading to significant disruptions. Independent MP Kate Chaney has criticized Premier Roger Cook's response to these protests as "embarrassing," particularly his use of the term "violent extremists" to describe the demonstrators. The protests are part of a broader movement against Woodside's Burrup Hub project, which activists argue threatens ancient rock art. The situation has led to legal actions, with some protesters facing charges, and has sparked a debate on the balance between environmental activism and public order.
