Indigenous Australians win court battle against fossil fuel firm

Sydney (AFP) Sept 21, 2022

A group of Indigenous Australians won a "historic" legal case against Santos on Wednesday, with the country's Federal Court tearing up the energy giant's approval to drill in the Timor Sea. Dennis Tipakalippa, an Indigenous elder on the remote Tiwi Islands, filed the lawsuit against Santos in June, alleging the Australian gas and oil company failed to consult properly with the Munupi Clan.
