Episode Details

Residents of Laramba, a remote Northern Territory community, are suing the government for failing to address high uranium levels in their drinking water for over a decade. The community, located 200km north-west of Alice Springs, faced health risks as uranium concentrations exceeded the safe limit by more than double. Despite the issue, residents had to rely on bottled water due to the lack of safe tap water. The situation improved in 2023 with a new water treatment plant, but the lawsuit continues, with residents lawyers seeking to transfer the case to the Federal Court. The government is opposing the transfer and has requested a pause in the claim amid a related class action. The Chief Justice will soon decide on the matter.
