Jabiluka uranium mine to be protected in Kakadu National Park

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.
