The NT Government’s decision to approve a 30-year water licence to Fortune Agribusiness for its Singleton Station project will now be considered by the High Court, following a challenge by native title holders from the Mpwerempwer Aboriginal Corporation.
The water license, which permits the extraction of 40 gigalitres of groundwater annually, is the largest ever issued in the NT and is intended for a large-scale fruit and vegetable farm.
What cultural values? the real reason for the objection is not environmental, jobs on country would interrupt the rivers of welfare gold.
