The interview with Meg O'Neill was criticized for appearing more like a political advertorial than journalism, with a laughable headline that shocked environmental advocates.
As Bill Hare pointed out, the interview lacked meaningful questioning of the Woodside CEO's statements, which he found to be highly contested and below ABC standards.
ABC News later updated the headline of the controversial interview, stating it was done to better reflect its content, signaling awareness of the backlash it received.
Hare emphasized the interview as an example of extraordinary greenwashing, asserting it takes the phenomenon to a new level that is concerning for environmental journalism.
