Kimberley gas hub: land rights not compulsory aquisition
No compulsory aquisition, Yes to land rights
On September 2 Premier Colin Barnett announced that the government will forcibly acquire land at James Price Point, 60km north of Broome.
Barnett wants to help Woodside Petroleum speed ahead with a multi-billion dollar LNG processing facility. Yet again the WA government is trampling on Aboriginal rights to help a multi-national company make a huge profit.
Come hear about the key issues relating to this project: environmental, legal, the rights of Aboriginal people, trade union & Aboriginal alliances.
Speakers:
Kathy Watson (Nygina & Jabirr descendant)
Steve McCartney (WA State Secretary AMWU)
Kamala Emanuel (Socialist Alliance)
Brooke Anderton (Marine Scientist)
Lara Menkens (The Aboriginal Party, former ALS Lawyer)
Kimberley Land Council representative (invited)
Organised by Fremantle Socialist Alliance & The Aboriginal Party. Ph Annolies 9433 6946 or Glenn 0432 479 132.
