Court battle between Adani and traditional owners hears 'slur' allegation

Some Wangan and Jagalingou people oppose an agreement to extinguish native title over the Carmichael coalmine area

The federal court has heard allegations of "slurs" and "surreptitious" tactics in the latest instalment of a legal battle by a small group of traditional owners against mining giant Adani.

Some members of the Wangan and Jagalingou are appealing a federal court decision, which last year rejected their objections to an Indigenous land use agreement.
