On indigenous land, Trump wants a pipeline and Turnbull wants a coal mine.
That is, Turnbull just announced he’s gonna change the Native Title Act
so it can’t be used to stop the Adani coal mine. This happens a lot.
Whenever the Native Title Act helps give Indigenous people power to stop
destructive government projects, the government just amends the Act to
disempower them again. It’s a weak law.The world over, stopping climate change, stopping fossil fuels and empowering Indigenous people are deeply linked.
