This years ANFA was led by the staunch co-chairs, Adnyamathanha/Kokatha man Dwayne Coulthard and Tjiwarl woman Vicki Abdullah who led, organised and inspired the meeting with their shared experiences of the nuclear industry that impacts the lives and country of Aboriginal people in many ways.  ANFA concluded with a powerful rally in Port Augusta, to show community resistance to the appalling waste dump site selection process by the Federal Government.  Click here to watch a short video of some of the awesome speeches and photographs from the rally.
