Australia's competition watchdog, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), has initiated legal proceedings against Mobil Oil Australia Pty for allegedly making misleading statements regarding fuel sold at petrol stations in Far North Queensland. Concurrently, Exxon Mobil's Australian unit is facing a lawsuit over false representations related to its local petrol brand. Additionally, a separate lawsuit has been filed against Exxon, Chevron, and other major plastics producers, accusing them of misleading consumers about the recyclability of plastics. The lawsuit claims that these companies violated antitrust and consumer protection laws by artificially inflating demand for single-use plastics, which contributed to increased consumer prices and global waste. The allegations highlight a broader concern regarding the environmental impact of plastic production and the oil industry's resistance to environmental treaties, particularly as Saudi Arabia leads opposition at the UN to a treaty aimed at curbing polymer production.
