The Australian government is trying to use the controversial Adani Coal mine application to pass through new legislation that would weaken Aboriginal people’s control over their land. Ever since the Australian continent was colonised by the British Empire, First Nations people have always fought to recover their ancestral lands. The proposed legislation would encourage divisions among Aboriginal communities by pitting claimants against each other. Aboriginal communities are looking for solidarity against this new attempt at land theft.
