AUSTRALIA – Our Worst Offshore Oil Spill That You’ve Never Heard Of

Hello everyone, thanks for joining us for another episode ofThe Meandering Pod.

This week we’re introducing a two-part series for the firsttime. It’s about the Montara Oil Spill, which happened in the Timor Sea in 2009. Bec and Dom will focus in this episode on the Australian side of the story, and next episode we’ll look into the Indonesian side of the story.

A big thanks to Fraser Maywood, chair of Sustainable EnergyNow, for providing background information about the oil and gas industry (but not specific details of the incident).
