Australian indigenous activitists take uranium mine plan to court

The Indigenous Justice Advocacy Network  is seeking a review of a decision to approve the Four Mile uranium mine in South Australia. The company proposing the mine - Alliance Resources Ltd. - will face the challenge from the indigenous group which seeks to protect cultural heritage on behalf of indigenous Australians. The mine was approved by the Australian Environment Minister, Peter Garrett. Garrett is the former lead singer of the band, Midnight Oil, which used to oppose nuclear energy.
