Resolved clause
“Shareholders note that after the destruction at Juukan Gorge, all current State and Territory cultural heritage protection laws and policies are under review. Shareholders therefore request that the Company: 1. support and comply with all legislative changes recommended in the Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia’s final report into the destruction of Indigenous heritage sites at Juukan Gorge published in October 2021, entitled A Way Forward including: 1. respecting veto power for Traditional Owners to refuse consent to projects impacting cultural heritage; and 2. adhering to penalties for destroying cultural heritage and respecting the rights of Traditional Owners to pursue damages. 2. cease all operations in the Company’s licence areas until all of the recommendations of the ‘Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing in the Northern Territory’s Final Report’ (2018) have been implemented, including: 1. requirements for engaging with groups within the licence area before commencing fracking and for that engagement process to be undertaken by the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority (AAPA); and 2. the rights of all impacted Traditional Owner family groups to veto anything that will disrupt cultural heritage and sacred sites.”
