Barngarla community has no say in nuclear waste dump facility

The Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation in South Australia are still fighting to protect the sacred Kimba site from a nuclear waste dumping facility.

Traditional land owners were excluded from the community vote, restricted by the 20 kilometre exclusion zone and rateable property law. The Federal Government also removed the bill from judicial review.

Farmers in the Kimba region are also concerned about the facilities impact on nearby agriculture and how it will impact land value.
