One of the nation's biggest resources projects has had a major setback, with gas giant Woodside to delay its $30 billion Kimberley gas project.
Woodside says the decision to shelve the project at James Price Point, north of Broome, has nothing to do with protests that have dogged the development.
But environmentalists are nevertheless claiming a minor victory, saying the project should be shelved for good.
Just six months ago, in an emotional ceremony at Western Australia's Parliament House, Indigenous landowners sat down in front of the cameras to finally sign off on a deal that would see them receive more than $1.5 billion in benefits.
