A judge grants an injunction brought by a Tiwi traditional owner seeking to delay Santos’ construction of a major gas pipeline.

A Tiwi traditional owner has won a last-minute bid to delay the construction of a major gas pipeline off the Top End.

Santos’ attempts to begin work on the Northern Territory gas project have been frustrated by legal claims. Judge Natalie Charlesworth granted the injunction blocking the works on Thursday, hours before Santos was due to start laying the pipe. “I am not satisfied that the short-term relief that is presently sought would be such as to render the pipeline program impossible.”
