"Indigenous groups in Federal Court to extend injunction against Adani over native title", 30 January 2018

Lawyer Colin Hardie, representing the two clans...said his team was seeking to prevent the company conducting works on three areas of the proposed mine site, which are on Wangun and Jagalingou land.
