Social Media Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 An energy giant has been accused of covering up the severity of an oil spill which allegedly killed dolphins off Western Australia (WA) last year. A whistleblower's statement read out in parliament this week alleges dead dolphins were found floating near the oil slick caused by Santos last March. Santos has previously denied the deaths were connected to the spill from its Varanus Island facility. The Australian firm is yet to respond to request for comment. The company last April told the WA Today newspaper the incident was a "minor spill" with "negligible" environmental impact. In November it added that the dead dolphins had been sighted "a couple of hours after" the spill, arguing it would have been too early for their deaths to result from it.
