Summary:

  • A Deloitte report commissioned by Woodside overstated the job creation potential of the Browse gas project.

  • Climate Integrity analysis found the report 'cherry-picked' job figures and ignored negative economic impacts.

  • The report was seen as an attempt to influence the government's environmental approval decision.

A report commissioned by oil-and-gas giant Woodside has exaggerated the economic benefits of its Browse to North West Shelf gas project, including overinflating the number of jobs it will create, according to a not-for-profit research group.

Climate Integrity published its own analysis of the Deloitte report on Thursday, finding it was “rosy” at best and claiming it was commissioned to paint the project in a positive light as the government’s decision on environmental approvals looms.

The analysis claimed the commissioned report inflated the economic benefits of the project, including “cherry-picking” job figures while ignoring destruction elsewhere.
