The head of an Aboriginal organisation overseeing land used by Woodside’s North West Shelf gas facility has accused environmental activists of undermining a bid to secure a world heritage listing for a culturally significant area of Western Australia’s Pilbara.
Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation chairman and representative of the local Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo people Peter Hicks said activists had hijacked a world heritage application, and were using it as a political tool to oppose industrial development in WA’s northwest.
