Wild rivers, conservation and Indigenous rights: an impossible balance?

Description
This article discusses Queensland's controversial Wild Rivers Act, arguing that it steamrolls Cape York communities’ fundamental rights to culture, land and development.
Given the federal government’s recent approval of the Four Mile uranium mine, the authors contend that neither the burdens of environmental conservation, nor the benefits of economic development, are evenly spread across Australian communities.
