Aboriginal Australians Lose Land Rights to Coal Mine

With no public announcement whatsoever, the Queensland government in Australia has done away with a native title of over 1,385 hectares of Wangan and Jagalingou country for the controversial new Adani coal mine.

I can't do anything about this being stuck in Brisbane. I hope someone out there can.

Friends,

We are underway in our legal battle to strike out Adani’s fake ‘Indigenous Land Use Agreement’.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Attorney General George Brandis intervened in our Federal Court hearing on Thursday to advantage Adani, asking the judge to delay our strike-out application.

The Attorney General chose to cross the line between the Parliament and the Courts solely in Adani’s interests, and showed just how willing the Government is to take away our rights. They will stop at nothing.

This fight is big. Please watch and share our video, and donate when you can to our Defence of Country Fund.

In central Queensland the Indian owned mining company Adani is trying to build one of the biggest coal mines in the world but an indigenous group has declared it will oppose the mine being built on Aboriginal land. Adrian Burragubba, one of the traditional owners, speaks to Lateline from Brisbane.

Lateline segment on the plans for a massive coal mine to be built on Wangan and Jagalingou (Central Queensland) lands.

Stop Adani destroying our land and our culture

We are gravely concerned about the push by Adani and the Queensland Government to open up the Carmichael Mine on our traditional lands. Our traditional lands are an interconnected and living whole; a vital cultural landscape. It is central to us as a People, and to the maintenance of our identity, laws and consequent rights. If the Carmichael mine were to proceed it would tear the heart out of the land.
