#Urannah dam has failed again after 18 feasibility studies + millions of tax money + stress of Traditional Owners. Time for true Traditional Owners Widi & Birri to take back true ownership of Urannah Homeland + Protect + Preserve the Rivers for the next Generations. #riverpeople

#Urannah Homelands is recognised by Native Title Courts of Aus Determination of Widi & Birri People's rights & interests & duty of care to Protect Preserve Cultural Ecological values of Urannah & Unique Wetlands from any developments on their Country. Stop Urannah Dam project.
Destroying one of our most highly valued Wetlands at head water's of Bowen River will have irreversible impacts of highly sensitive Environmental Cultural Values of #Urannah and Broken River Nationally Registered Wetlands. #nourannahdam #riverpeople #irwinielseyaprotection
Representative of Urannah Homelands I would like to say that the announcement of Government Budget this week to not fund #Urannah Dam project was a great decision to not fund a project that wasn't Culturally Environmentally or Financially viable. facebook.com/urannah/photos/…

Urannah Dam in north Queensland would direct $500m to a company run by people with links to the Liberal National party. Could return as little as 26 cents per Dollar! theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Companies linked to Urannah Dam project donate more than $150,000 to Liberal National party. Taxpayer funding to the #Urannah project had been allocated for “brazenly political purposes” #FederalICAC #auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Urannah dam business case assumes massive growth in Queensland coalmining. We were saying from the start, this project is about providing water for coal at the taxpayers expense theguardian.com/australia-ne…
While we are seeing catastrophic flooding across QLD, why are they even suggesting to dam such a powerful river? The proposed #Urannah dam project will be an extreme disaster. abc.net.au/news/2022-03-17/b…

This river is changing its course, but millions of dollars in property are in its path

Farmers have been watching the Burdekin River for years. Now, new research backs up their concerns that it is changing course.

The Northern Quoll is just one of the many species of animal that call #Urannah home. A carnivorous marsupial feeding primarily on invertebrates, but also consume fleshy fruit, and a range of vertebrates. We must protect habitat and the living waters which sustain our land.
There is no money for #urannahdam as well as no consent from First nation owners. This proposed project would have been a financial and environmental disaster for #QLD. #urannah #qldpol #WaterIsLife #irwinsturtle #nodam

The Mackay Mayor has fired up over a lack of local funding in the federal budget, with no money allocated for the Urannah Dam. Greg Williamson claims this budget wasn't about the regions, but a lead up to the election. 7NEWS.com.au @AshDwan #fedpol #7NEWS

Final terms of reference for the proposed #Urannah Dam have been released. They plan to waste $2.9 billion of Australian and QLD's tax money on a project that doesn't add up financially, environmentally disastrous and no consent from Widi people. #qldpol statedevelopment.qld.gov.au/…
