Secrecy in Sinister Matt Canavan’s meeting with nuclear waste dump organisations in Hawker, South Australia

Last week the Barndioota Consultative Committee (BCC) held its first meeting in over a year since the process was stalled by a federal court injunction lodged by the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation.
