How did the location of the protest and the activists' methods influence the court's sentencing?

The activists' actions, deemed a publicity stunt by their lawyer, aimed to draw attention to Woodside's environmental impact on the Burrup Peninsula, containing ancient Aboriginal rock art. Targeting O'Neill's home, rather than corporate offices, escalated the offense, leading to fines ranging from $2,000 to $2,500. The incident sparked debate about the boundaries of climate activism and the role of media.
