The conflict of appearing to support the Woodside expansion by talking through the science of the air quality observations and helping MAC to get their wonderful rock art recognised globally as having outstanding universal value is well captured in the story

Thanks to @kristatee.bsky.social for helping me out with the benzene limits. Here are the proposed limits - and whether they are good, OK or bad in their goal of protecting workers...

Benzene bad; Formaldehyde could be much much better; Others pretty close to best practice protection.
