Indigenous owners launch fresh legal challenge to Adani’s Carmichael mine

Wangan and Jagalingou opponents, who say project would override native title on most of their land, dispute Queensland mining minister's approval of leases

Traditional owners have launched a fresh legal challenge to Adani's proposed Carmichael mine, declaring they would go all the way to the high court to stand as the last "line of defence" against the contentious project.

Wangan and Jagalingou opponents of the mine on Tuesday went to the Queensland court of appeal to dispute the state mining minister's approval of Adani's mining leases.
