Traditional land owners from the Northern Territory descended on Warrang, Sydney, today, to voice their opposition against fracking on their homelands. Around 200 people showed up at a rally in Martin Place to signal their support.
The rally and visit by traditional owners coincided with an AGM for Origin Energy, who plan to begin fracking at the Beetaloo sub-basin, south east of Darwin.
Protesters marched from Martin Place to Angel Place, where the AGM was being conducted. Several traditional owners attended the meeting, where they spoke out against Origin’s plans, which endangers traditional lands and water, as well as sacred sites and the health of numerous Aboriginal communities.
The rally was organised by SEED.
