Revealed: traditional owners accepted payments to attend Adani meetings

Exclusive: Indigenous representatives who helped resurrect a pivotal land agreement for Australia's largest proposed coalmine pocket 'sitting fees'

A group of traditional owners have not fully disclosed payments to meet Adani and resurrect talks over a pivotal land agreement for Australia's largest proposed coalmine.
