Mr Griffiths’ shares are held through indirect interests and were bought on-market, according to an Australian Stock Exchange announcement. Woodside Petroleum chairman Charles Goode has acquired nearly 5,000 shares in the oil and gas company, worth $167,129, in accordance with the company directors’ share plan, Woodside said in an ASX statement.
