A month after the Gomeroi people lost a legal battle to stop the Narrabri Gas Project, they're taking it to the Federal Court with fresh hopes they can block it.
abc.net.au/news/native-title-appeal-complicates-santos-narrabri-gas-project/101863842Gomeroi traditional owners in north-west New South Wales have filed an appeal against the National Native Title Tribunal's "gut-wrenching" decision to permit the contentious Narrabri Gas Project.
Gomeroi woman Sue-Ellen Tighe said the decision to appeal was "fantastic" as many people were "gut-wrenched" by the Tribunal's original decision."I have more faith in the Federal Court system than I have in the National Native Title Tribunal." "Has that ever proven to be the case in the past where [fossil fuel companies] have made these claims?" Ms Tighe said.
