This episode looks at the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC v Minister for Resources [2023] court case heard earlier this month, in which traditional owner group Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation, successfully overturned a proposal for a new waste facility in the Kimba, South Australia.
