STOP WORK to protect Wangan and Jagalingou sacred sites

UPDATE! Under cover of darkness, Adani began bulldozing this highly significant Wangan and Jagalingou sacred site and is now laying explosives in the areas immediately surrounding it. We must act NOW!

Adani plans to desecrate and destroy a significant Wangan and Jagalingou cultural heritage site lying in the path of their rapidly expanding mine pit – the site contains the highest concentration of artefacts uncovered at Adani’s Carmichael coal mine to date.

Adani plans to desecrate and destroy a significant Wangan and Jagalingou cultural heritage site lying in the path of their rapidly expanding mine pit – the site contains the highest concentration of artefacts uncovered at Adani’s Carmichael coal mine to date.

The site is an ancient stone tool making area that our people utilised for thousands of years. Hundreds of artefacts have already been collected, and thousands more remain. These artefacts are a reminder of who we are – they cannot be destroyed.

The Queensland Government must ACT NOW to protect our human rights by issuing an immediate stop work order to halt Adani’s destruction of our cultural heritage.

Contact the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Craig Crawford today and urge him to issue an immediate stop work order to protect Wangan and Jagalingou cultural heritage and uphold our human rights.

Dear Hon Craig Crawford MP,

I am writing to you in your capacity as Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships to urge you to issue an immediate stop work order on planned works at Adani's coal mine to protect Wangan and Jagalingou cultural heritage.

I understand you have been made aware that Adani has plans to destroy a highly significant cultural heritage site. I also understand that you have received an urgent request from Traditional Owners to issue an immediate stop work order to protect this sacred site.

Adani's excavation plans will destroy Wangan and Jagalingou cultural heritage by removing thousands of ancient stone tool artefacts and dumping them on another highly significant Wangan and Jagalingou site. Traditional Owners are concerned that these works will irreversibly destroy not one, but two sacred sites.

I urge you to listen to the concerns of Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners and act now to protect cultural heritage and uphold their human rights under section 28 of the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld).
