This is the first time I have seen Sulphur Crested Cockatoo's in the wild.
The Hindmarsh Island bridge controversy was an Australian legal and political controversy that involved the clash of Indigenous Australian religious beliefs and the rights of property owners. The Hindmarsh Island Royal Commission found that claims of "secret women's business" were fabricated, however, in 2001 a civil case in the Federal Court of Australia found against the developers and the claims of fabrication.[1]. The bridge attracted much controversy because the issue intersected with broader concerns about Indigenous rights in the Australian community at the time. It coincided with the Mabo and Wik High Court cases regarding Native Title and the election of conservative Prime Minister John Howard.
the claims were actually later found to be true about the women's secret business, when the original purchasers of the island tried to sue the women who allegedly "fabricated" said secret womens business. However, the bridge had already been built and it was too late.

Do you have ay evidence of that? When I researched it online I found nothing to support that - my information came from Wikipedia

@StylidiumLane I assume this is directed at me? I spoke to someone who actually worked on this case as part of research for a uni assignment. That was part of the information they gave me and also in a book I used as a reference in my study. Hope that helps
