FMG Great Native Title Swindle Part 1

Caught in the act - this is a record of a supposed 'native title' meeting staged by the iron ore miner, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG). It shows how FMG, its agents, a lawyer and an opportunist splinter faction tried to destroy the unity of the Yindjibarndi people and give open slather to FMG for its Solomon Hub project. The video demonstrates the unscrupulous actions of a miner trying to bully traditional owners into a land use 'Agreement' that will see massive disturbance of country and will swindle several generations of Yindjibarndi people.

The Yindjibarndi mob want to make friends not enemies. We believe there has been enough violence and we strive for powerful, peaceful campaigns.

The Australian Govt couldn;t stand up to big mining interests in WA, but Yindjibarndi mob can! Well done!

13:45 excellent proof of the nature of "negotiation" and "consultation" which big mining has in mind. Fuck off, FMG.

thank you for uploading this excellent video evidence.

I work at this mine and have worked at many in WA. Our Australian economy revolves around mining, and we all enjoy a lifestyle (directly, or indirectly) associated to these boom times. Though compusory cross cultural training (that every single person on any of his sites must attend), I have learned many things about the peoples of the region - which I never had learnt at school or through life. Their is a respect at that company for the land and the peoples, unlike any other WA mine I have seen

I think people need to understand that just giving aboriginal people money isn't the solution. We must provide them the support they need to maintain their amazing culture and history as well as allow them to walk equal and if not prouder than white people as there ancestors founded our land.

Friend of mine went to school with Forrest. Apparently he used to brag about bashing abos. Seems nothing's changed.
