  • Summary

  • When an Aboriginal sacred site in the Flinders Ranges, SA, was nominated as a nuclear waste dump, three sisters from the Traditional Owners of that land instantly launched a battle to save this culturally significant area. Adnyamathanha women, Regina and Vivianne McKenzie and Heather Stuart, embarked on a fierce political advocacy campaign, garnering support from all around the world, including partnering with Maurice Blackburn Lawyers.


    Here Broad Radio’s Jo Stanley is joined by two of these incredible sisters – Regina and Heather – who share what this spiritual site means to them, and the steps they took to save it. And Social Justice Senior Associate from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Nicki Lees, explains the legal side to this battle and where the law falls short in protecting Aboriginal heritage. 


    Broad Radio acknowledges Australia always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
