Marian Wilkinson: Woodside vs the Planet

Woodside vs The Planet - a conversation with author Marian Wilkinson and guests presented by Beaufort Street Books and Black Inc Books.

“The world may have committed to hold back dangerous climate change in the Paris Agreement, but Australia’s fossil-fuel giant Woodside is doubling down: it has bold new plans to keep producing gas out to 2070. Support from the major parties is locked in, so something has to give.”

“Woodside vs The Planet - How a Company Captured a Country” is Quarterly Essay 99 - written by multi award-winning investigative journalist Marian Wilkinson.

Politics and culture journal The Quarterly Essay presents a range of political, intellectual and cultural opinions aiming to foster debate, so if you’re curious about this issue, this event will be a useful primer.

Marian Wilkinson will be joined by special guests Kate Chaney MP (Federal Member for Curtin) and Jessica Panegyres (Director, Solutions for Climate) in a conversation led by Meri Fatin.

Books available for sale on the night and the Octagon Bar will remain open after the event so the conversation can continue.
