Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation tells Beetaloo fracking companies to “ Pack up and go home”.

from Earth Matters · host Presenter: Bec Horridge, Guest: Samuel Janama Sandy, Chair of the Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation

Samuel Janama Sandy is chair of the Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation representing eleven native title areas across the Beetaloo area that is slated for intensive fracking.   Samuel shares some good reasons why fracking companies must: “Pack up and go home”. He documents the unfair “negations” fracking companies imposed on his community to get so-called “agreements” to frack. The impact of fracking chemicals forced into four kilometer deep holes through precious water aquifers is of huge concern. Guest: Samuel Janama Sandy, Chair of the Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation Stop Fracking the Territory Petition: Frack Free NT Music: MidIlbingini Agiyabarda (When The Water Goes Down) David Garnham & the Reasons to LiveThis song was written by Samuel's nephew, Stuart Nuggett with his mother Janet Gregory and David Garnham in a collaboration expressing  deep concern over the fracking that is occurring and is set to expand in the Beetaloo Basin, NT.
