From 2020: Why #Aboriginal people have little say over energy projects on their land
Published: August 10, 2020
by Lilly O'Neill, et al."Renewable energy projects come with a caveat: most #TraditionalOwners in #Australia have little legal say over them.
- The #NativeTitleAct does not allow traditional owners to veto developments proposed for their land.
- The National Native Title Tribunal — which rules on disputes between native title holders and #companies — has sided with native title holders only three times, and with companies 126 times (of which 55 had conditions attached).
- #RioTinto’s agreement for the area including #JuukanGorge reportedly “gagged” traditional owners from objecting to any activities by the company, which then destroyed the 46,000-year-old rock shelters.

When #RioTinto destroyed ancient caves at #JuukanGorge, the world got an unsightly glimpse of #WesternAustralia's outdated cultural heritage laws.
Here's everything you need to know about the WA government's backdown on its #Aboriginal Cultural Heritage laws
By Jake Sturmer
Posted Tue 8 Aug 2023"The WA government's 2021 changes were supposed to prevent what it described as a 'global embarrassment' from ever happening again.
"Instead, the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act has left many farmers confused and traditional owners frustrated.
"After just five weeks in operation, the government has backflipped — trying to stem the political bleeding that is tainting WA's new premier and now muddying the waters of the Voice referendum debate.
So what's changing?
"It's important to remember that any activities that could damage Aboriginal cultural heritage still need approval.
"The old-but-soon-to-be-new 1972 act meant the minister had to tick off on every action no matter how minor — known as a Section 18 approval.
WA premier announces repeal of Aboriginal Cultural Heritage laws"Just five weeks after being legislated, Roger Cook announces the WA government will be scrapping its #AboriginalCulturalHeritageLaws.
"The 2021 act created a system of tiers and approvals.
"Want to build a fence with no clearing? No approval required.
"New #mine site with deep excavation? You'll need a management plan that has to be ticked off by a local Aboriginal organisation at your expense.
"But the government acknowledged these tiers have caused massive confusion and will therefore be scrapped.
"There were reports the rules would have prevented everything from gardening to installing a swimming pool, building a garage or burying a pet in the backyard.
"In fact, such activities were exempt, as were all properties smaller than 1,100 square metres.
"So it's no surprise the biggest outcry came from farmers.
How will another Juukan Gorge be prevented?
"When landowners requested to damage or destroy heritage sites, they needed one of those #Section18 approvals from the minister.
"If the minister rejected that, developers had a right to appeal but traditional owners did not.
"As part of the government's backflip, it will amend the laws to give a right of appeal to the native title party whose cultural heritage is impacted.
"Developers will also have to bring any new heritage information to the government's attention."

Pilbara traditional owners 'profoundly disappointed' as Equinox Resources lodges #Section18 request
By Tom Robinson, February 24, 2024
"#EquinoxResources wants to start drilling at its #Hamersley Iron Ore Project to move it towards commercialisation, but WGAC says that will impact two #Aboriginal heritage sites in the area and has called for the company to abandon its plans.
"#WGAC is also campaigning against the mine proposal as a whole, saying it will damage ground and surface #water connected to #HamersleyGorge in #Karijini.

In Australia, Mining companies blow up Mesolithic sites and noone bats an eye.
British heritage is important, brown people’s not so much.

@MacPherson my worst fear is that Rio Tinto and Woodside take a no result to mean they can blow up sacred sites with impunity and no one will care.

#RioTinto blew up Juukan Gorge. Australia’s Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura peoples kept it safe for 46,000 years and Rio Tinto blew it up. Someone resigned.
“The gorge is known primarily for a cave that was the only inland site in Australia with evidence of continuous human occupation for over 46,000 years, including through the last Ice Age. The cave was permanently destroyed by mining company Rio Tinto in May 2020.
“Prior to its destruction, the cave in Juukan Gorge was a sacred site for the traditional owners of the land, the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura (Binigura) peoples.
“…46,000 years old, and rich in artefacts including animal bones in middens showing changes in the local fauna, grindstones and various sacred objects. One particularly significant finding was a length of plaited human hair, woven together from strands from the heads of several different people, about 4,000 years old. DNA testing revealed that the hair had belonged to the direct ancestors of Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura (PKKP) people alive today.”

Big Quarry or wildlife reserve?
In remote far-western Queensland lies an ancient gorge, scattered with rock carvings, that's rarely visited. Traditional owners fear it could fall victim to the world's insatiable appetite for critical minerals.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-22/wangkamadla-launch-special-wildlife-reserve-bid-stop-mining/102741894

Vandals destroy 30 000 year old cave art of #Koonalda Cave, a sacred site of the Mirning, on Nullabor Plain in South #Australia.
The damage done to the art is irreversible. This follows the destruction of the 46 000 year old site at the #JuukanGorge by mining company Rio Tinto in 2020.
The destruction of ancient sites is but one of the many forms of #racism the indigenous Australians are subjected to.
I feel like crying.
