Tiwi Island community devastated by Federal Court loss

  • 4 months ago
Tiwi Islands traditional owners say they're devastated by a federal court decision this week... To allow gas giant Santos to resume laying an underwater pipeline. Elders applied for an urgent injunction to stop the work -- arguing Santos had failed to adequately assess whether the project would damage underwater cultural heritage sites -- which run about seven kilometres west of the Tiwi Islands.
