It’s concerning to see such a significant disparity between the traditional owners’ compensation claim and the amount proposed by Fortescue and the WA government. The $1.8 billion claim reflects the value that traditional owners place on their land, culture, and rights, which cannot be easily quantified. It’s essential for all parties to engage in meaningful dialogue and negotiation to address the historic injustices faced by Indigenous communities. Fair compensation should recognize the true impact of development on traditional lands and seek to promote reconciliation and support for the traditional owners’ ongoing connection to their heritage. What are your thoughts on how this situation could be resolved?
