Aboriginal landowners under government pressure over uranium mining

No to uranium mining National Indigenous Times, 21 Sept 11, The 2011 meeting of the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance has been told Traditional Owners had very few rights when it came to trying to prevent uranium mining taking place of their lands.
The meeting attracted a large gathering of Elders and traditional owners of lands throughout central Australia and the meeting highlighted growing concern that governments would try and steamroll them to allow uranium mining to take place.
The Undoolya peoples of Alice Springs welcomed the people attending the meeting which also paid its respect to the marchers in the 10 week Walk Away From Uranium Mining happening now in Western Australia.   http://www.nit.com.au/News/story.aspx?id=22822
