Exclusive: Samuel Sandy, chair of Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation, says the treatment of its submission was ‘wrong and upsetting’
An Aboriginal corporation has accused the Albanese government of twisting and misrepresenting its clear position against developing more gas in its new Future, launched Thursday by the resources minister, Madeleine King, argues the fossil fuel is an important part of the transition to net zero emissions and that Australia will need new sources of it “to 2050 and beyond”.
Samuel Sandy, chair of Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation and a Djingili elder, told Guardian Australia the government’s treatment of its submission was “wrong and upsetting”. “They should take our quotes out from the report and rewrite it so it’s clear we say we want to protect our country and water from new gas drilling.A spokesperson for King said the quote was used in relation to energy security and how gas was used and the document linked to the corporation’s full submission “to ensure the full context of the quote is available”.
