Santos CEO Kevin Gallagher says the company won't pursue legal costs from Tiwi plaintiffs following Federal Court Barossa project battle

Santos will NOT seek legal costs from Tiwi Islanders after a failed Federal Court bid to suspend the Barossa project over cultural heritage concerns. It comes as the Environmental Defender's Office faces backlash, after it was found to have manipulated the instructions of their Indigenous clients in the federal court case. The federal opposition says the national body should be stripped of funding, while the Northern Territory government is now reviewing its contract with the provider.
