Aboriginal landowners in court – their case against Muckaty nuclear waste dump will continue
news today from the federal court in Melbourne re the Muckaty legal case – Dave Sweeney, 28 March 12
The judge did not accept moves by the Commonwealth and Northern Land Council (NLC) to have the Traditional Owners case struck out.

A move by the NLC/Commonwealth to have proceedings re-located to Darwin was also rejected and proceedings will continue in Melbourne:
