From Blue Community Ambassador Dr Erin O’Donnell, Associate Professor and ARC DECRA Fellow at Melbourne Law School, Australia:
Water is being plundered in the Northern Territory. A proposed project near Ali Curung (Kaytetye Country) in central Australia could see groundwater levels plummet, affecting the health and well-being of Country and all who care for it.
If you can, please consider supporting this project to visualise the impact of water extraction, providing evidence and a platform for the Ali Curung community’s storytelling.

“We must protect our Country, our water, our home. Otherwise we’ll become homeless. We will be refugee in our own Country, with no safe water to drink and no where to go.” Maureen O’Keefe, Kaytetye-Warlpiri Artist and Activist
