Indigenous Interference
In January, 1995, violence broke out between two rival Aboriginal groups in the outback town of Marree, SA. Allegations were made of WMC involvement due to their public supporting and signing of an agreement with one group, the Dieri Mitha, excluding the widely recognised traditional owners, the Arabana. |

WMC Gains Control of Aboriginal Heritage
In December 1997, the SA Government passed a further amendment to the Roxby Indenture thereby giving WMC control of Aboriginal Heritage over 1.5 million hectares, an area vastly bigger than the mine lease. The bill has been described as an appalling denial of justice for Aboriginal peoples of the region. |
