Traditional owners have also said a report by energy analyst Reputex which suggests the cost of offsetting carbon emissions could make developing the Northern Territory's Beetaloo Basin unviable, justifies their argumement that fracking should not happen in the NT
But Traditional Owners who look after country in the Beetaloo Basin and representatives of the Corporation say the report shows that fracking will not benefit their people.
Djingulu [JING-ah-loo] traditional owner and cultural adviser at the Nurrdalinji [nooh-dar-LIN-gee] Native Title Aboriginal Corporation Janet Gregory says there have been meetings between mining and fracking companies and traditional owners decades ago, which never resulted in more employment for her people.
Ms Gregory talked to CAAMA’s Philippe Perez about the impacts of fracking on her land.
