“Meg O’Neill launched a quite disrespectful – and, arguably, arrogant – attack on young people for their views on climate change and, in particular, for their views on fossil fuels like the gas that is at the heart of Woodside’s business.
“I find Ms O’Neill’s comments disrespectful to the very real concerns that young people have about climate change.
“The comments also make it sound like Ms O’Neill does not take the issue of climate change seriously.

“Every company needs a social licence to operate. I suggest that Ms O’Neill should apologise to young Australians for her comments.
