Courts of the Conqueror: Adani and the Shortcomings of Native Title Law
Abstract
In late August 2019, media reported that the Queensland government had granted freehold title to mining company Adani over part of the lands of the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) people near Clermont in Queensland. The story caught on, with social media outrage directed at what was described as a ‘pro-coal move’ by the Palaszczuk government.
