Indymedia on RTRFM – 9 August 2021

This week, Indymedia hones in on Australian mining companies and their meddling both here and overseas.

First, Ray and Brett check out the situation in Buenos Aires, Ecuador, where locals have been resisting the prospecting of Hanline, a subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting.

The Indymedia team speak to Rainforest Action Group’s Liz Downs about illegal mining’s impact on Northern Ecuador.

Meanwhile, the State Government is deliberating over the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill, which would put more power over First Nations land into the hands of mining corporations.

Anthony Watson, Chairman of the Kimberley Land Council, explains why many Land Councils are challenging the proposed bill.

Indymedia covers left-wing politics and stories overlooked by mainstream media outlets. Offering news and views from a network of grassroots activists, Indymedia airs live at 11 every Monday on RTRFM 92.1.

Don’t hate the media – become the media.
