"The ABC has received queries about the presence of an ABC news team at yesterday’s protest action at the home of Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill.
A Four Corners team attended the protest action to gather material for a potential report later this year.
Just prior to the action the team received a tip to go to an address, they had no knowledge what was at the address or that it was someone’s house.
They had no knowledge of what action was going to occur there.
When they arrived the police were already in attendance, in numbers.
The ABC team remained on public land observing what was happening and getting some vision, as journalists do.
They at no time went on to private property or had any involvement in what was happening.
The ABC team in no way colluded with the activists.
Update on 4 August 2023: In response to concerns that have been raised, the ABC is conducting a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding this matter."
