On indigenous land, Trump wants a pipeline and Turnbull wants a coal mine.
That is, Turnbull just announced he's gonna change the Native Title Act so it can't be used to stop the Adani coal mine. This happens a lot. Whenever the Native Title Act helps give Indigenous people power to stop destructive government projects, the government just amends the Act to disempower them again. It's a weak law.
The world over, stopping climate change, stopping fossil fuels and empowering Indigenous people are deeply linked.
