The release is a 20-page NOPSEMA internal file note, dated 2 May 2025, titled "NOPSEMA Advice to Supplement Browse Project Draft Recommendation Report – Pygmy Blue Whales". It is marked "Internal Use Only". The extracted text is largely header and footer material repeated on each page, with almost no substantive body content, so the specific advice given, any recommendations, risk figures, or enforcement outcomes cannot be identified from the text. The document relates to the Browse Project, an offshore petroleum development, and concerns pygmy blue whales, suggesting the advice addresses potential impacts on this listed threatened species. Some pages carry unclear or garbled names, and one page contains an apparent 2011 date. Journalists should seek the full, unredacted pages to confirm the substance of the advice.
