This is the best summary I could come up with:
The fight to stop climate change is slowly creeping from the environmental front lines of land and sea to the hallowed halls of Australia's courtrooms.
But then a group of Tiwi Islander traditional owners, led by Dennis Tipakalippa, took the regulator to court, saying the approval was unlawful as they hadn't been properly consulted.
But following its win, Santos CEO Kevin Gallagher stood in front of reporters in Darwin and said the company wouldn't pursue the Tiwi Islanders for costs.
Santos applied to the court for subpoenas seeking a wide range of documents from four environmental charities: The Environment Centre NT (ECNT), Jubilee Australia, Sunrise and Market Forces.
"Santos is using the potential of seeking costs against third parties … to go after groups who merely offer moral or solidarity support to public interest litigants," Mr Watson says.
The subpoena issued to ECNT disrupted the organisation enormously, Ms Howey says, forcing them to hire lawyers and divert staffing resources.
