Woodside forced to change tack
Woodside, Australia’s largest oil and gas company with a license to drill for natural gas in the Rakhine Basin, has felt the pressure of community protests and changed tack.

Energy News Bulletin, “It’s not up to us to judge the veracity of grievances [the military] have around the previous election process.”
In response to the vehement backlash to these comments, Coleman released a media statement on February 19, which said: “I regret that I made some remarks in a media interview that have been interpreted as condoning what has occurred in Myanmar.”
