ANFA 2025: Mining impacts and protecting country

Today we bring you some interviews from the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance Meeting 2025, held on Nukunu country at Pichi Richi park over the 29-31 August. Adnyamathanha woman Deidre Coulthard shared their concerns about ongoing impacts of the Leigh Creek coal mine that continues to pollute the local area despite its 70 year operations ending in 2015. And she shares excitement about efforts to protect the region from mining through a UNESCO World Heritage listing. The Gammon and Flinders Ranges contain the best fossil evidence from 350 million years ago when the first multicellular life forms emerged. Taking inspiration for a World Heritage listing for the Brewarrina fish traps is Ngambri woman Trish Frail. Then we hear from Regina McKenzie, who won the Peter Rawlinson Award 2016 and was named Human Rights Hero in 2020 for her work in stopping a nuclear waste dump at Barndioota, about new uranium mine threats and the ongoing impacts of Olympic Dam uranium mine on the ecology.
