The Barngarla people are opposed to a nuclear waste dump at Kimba and have been fighting for a long time. This year SA Premier Peter Malinauskas said he supported Traditional Owners Right to Veto over the waste dump issue and now we need to get our voices to Canberra so that Resource Minister Madeleine King and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese can drop the Kimba site.
“We need your help to stop the dump.” Barngarla Elder, Harry Dare.
“It’s going to affect all of us as Australians and I’m putting this out there to everyone, let’s stand together and fight this issue.” Jason Bilney, Chairperson Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation.
Background:
The Government’s process of declaring Kimba as the dump site was flawed from the beginning. Despite being Native Title Holders, we never received the right to vote in the official ballot used to assess broad community support. The Government then tried to remove free and fair judicial review, by amending the National Radioactive Waste Management Act 2012. We were able to fight and protect our right to judicial review, and we now must fight again.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
