ABSTRACT

Australia’s oil and gas industry is squarely in the sights of environmental and activist groups in their efforts to drive climate change reform and restrict development through litigation. This paper looks at recent legal challenges impacting the oil and gas sector, and also considers the potential implications of key climate change and human rights based litigation on the industry. The paper notes parallels between the decade of jurisprudence against coal mine developments in Queensland and New South Wales, and the current wave of litigation against the oil and gas industry.
