Support Muckaty Traditional Owners on World Environment Day

For the past seven years there has been sustained community opposition to a federal government plan to dump Australia's radioactive waste on Aboriginal land at Muckaty in the Northern Territory.

Now Traditional Owners opposed to the dump plan are taking their concerns and their case to the Federal Court with a trial starting this week in Melbourne.

Join us to discuss the court case and the way forward for the campaign and responsible radioactive waste management.
