Murujuga petroglyphs - putting a "very rosy spin" on the scientific findings

"Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt was advised emissions from Woodside's Karratha Gas Plant may be having an adverse effect on the rock art, before he granted the company an extension to keep operating there for another 40 years."

"A top statistician says he quit a landmark study into whether heavy industry is damaging ancient rock art in Western Australia's north after the government misrepresented his team's key finding. Misstating the results of an expensive scientific investigation is unacceptable and I think that's what's happened."
