The Australian government faces having to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the American oil and gas company Chevron to help it clean up oil wells on Barrow Island, in Western Australia, under a deal made in the 1980s.

Did you read the article mate? Like, you're not wrong about the deals his gov is approving now, but this wasn't his fluff up.

Yep I did read it and my point was that if the government is approving new fossil fuel deals, they should not cost the taxpayer for the cleanup.
