A draft letter from WA’s Environmental Protection Authority written in 2023, seen by the Guardian, sharply criticised Woodside’s proposal to develop the Browse gasfield, saying its plans to protect endangered turtles and blue whales near Scott Reef would be ineffective.

"Now women rarely need reserved seats to get elected, but the existence of those seats remains crucial to securing party nominations. In 2030, the quota will go up to one in three, and will be gender neutral. It means that in every three seats there must be at least one woman and one man." 2/2
