It might seem trite, but look for the little joys, and this has oddly been one of mine.

Alarm as miners seek approval to impact heritage sites without #TraditionalOwners ' consent
Giovanni Torre - February 29, 2024
"A #WesternAustralian Traditional Owners group has expressed 'profound disappointment' over a mining company's Section 18 application to impact two sacred sites, submitted without the group's content.
"The #Wintawari #Guruma #Aboriginal Corporation told #NationalIndigenousTimes that #EquinoxResources Ltd submitted the application without seeking consent or consulting with them.
"The #NativeTitle holders noted that the Equinox project is 'on the doorstep of the iconic #Karijini #NationalPark", and that more than 15,000 people have signed an online petition to ask Equinox to 'reconsider their plans to damage the area'.
"Wintawari said they only learned through the media that Equinox had lodged a section 18 notice seeking ministerial approval to impact an area of land that retains cultural significance to Aboriginal people throughout the #Pilbara.
"'The Wintawari Traditional Owners are extremely disappointed that Equinox is yet to meet with the elders to discuss their section 18 notice through an implementation committee to be established under an agreement between them and Wintawari,' a spokesperson said.
"Wintawari Guruma Aboriginal Corporation said that it proposed a meeting with Equinox in Karratha on Thursday, 29 February to discuss the section 18 notice, adding that the company 'has apparently rejected the opportunity to engage with Wintawari and the Traditional Owners through the processes provided for in their agreement'.
"The Wintawari spokesperson told National Indigenous Times that the Equinox CEO is not able to meet with WGAC to consult on the section 18 application because he has gone overseas until 8 April.
"'This indicates to #WGAC that they are not serious about consulting with WGAC about our cultural heritage concerns. It is beyond belief that Equinox Resources submit a #Section18 application without any consultation with the native title holders, in contravention of the state's Section 18 Consultation Policy and Guidelines, and then their CEO heads off overseas for six weeks making himself unavailable to discuss the serious concerns that the #WintawariElders have about their #cultural heritage being destroyed,' the spokesperson said.
"'It is astounding that a CEO of an ASX listed resources company can demonstrate such disrespect to the traditional owners and an appalling lack of judgement.'
[...]
"The Traditional Owners also noted that the Equinox project 'has potentially significant #environmental issues'.
"The project area is adjacent to the iconic Karijini National Park and a vital source of ground and surface water that nourishes the famous #HamersleyGorge."

Pilbara traditional owners 'profoundly disappointed' as Equinox Resources lodges #Section18 request
By Tom Robinson, February 24, 2024
"#EquinoxResources wants to start drilling at its #Hamersley Iron Ore Project to move it towards commercialisation, but WGAC says that will impact two #Aboriginal heritage sites in the area and has called for the company to abandon its plans.
"#WGAC is also campaigning against the mine proposal as a whole, saying it will damage ground and surface #water connected to #HamersleyGorge in #Karijini.
"The parties have been unable to reach an agreement, and Equinox has lodged an #AboriginalHeritageAct Section 18 application — the controversial mechanism that allowed #RioTinto to destroy #JuukanGorge in 2020 — with the state government."

Section 18 was the controversial mechanism that led to the destruction of caves at Juukan Gorge in 2020, and this application is among the first since the WA government changed the law in response to the incident.
