Episode Details

Traditional owners and pastoralists clash over a draft plan for managing the Fitzroy River in Western Australias Kimberley region. The government proposal bans new surface water allocations and caps groundwater use to protect the rivers ecology and culture. Pastoralists argue the ban is too harsh, while traditional owners warn of harm to endangered species and sacred sites. The plan promises an advisory committee, but leaders doubt its effectiveness. The final plan remains uncertain as feedback rolls in.
