Aboriginal traditional owners say they are being punished for opposing Adani coalmine

Queensland government is taking Wangan and Jagalingou people to court to dispute their native title claim

Aboriginal traditional owners opposed to the Adani Carmichael coalmine say they are being punished for their resistance by the Queensland government, which is now disputing the legitimacy of their native title claim in the federal court.

The court case, set to begin on Monday, comes after almost 15 years of negotiation about the claim.
