Jabiluka uranium mine to be protected in Kakadu National Park

abc.net.au —

The Australian federal government will permanently protect the Jabiluka uranium mine site by incorporating it into Kakadu National Park, following the refusal of a 10-year lease extension requested by Energy Resources Australia. The lease, held for 42 years, expires on August 11. This decision marks a significant victory for the Mirarr traditional owners, who have opposed mining at the site for decades.
