Western Australian Premier Roger Cook says he was “appalled” by the actions of three radical climate activists and a camera crew who allegedly trespassed into the home of energy chief Meg O'Neill.

Jesse Noakes, 34, Gerard Mazza, 31, and a 19-year-old woman, along with a camera crew from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), were met by counter-terrorism police at 6:45 a.m. at the Perth home of the CEO of oil and gas giant Woodside Energy.
