Friends and family 🐊

We have some big news!

Northern Territory Labor has officially reversed its position on the Defence Housing Australia (DHA) project at Lee Point and now opposes the destruction of this sacred and ecologically rich land! 

This could be a turning point. 

As I said in an interview with the National Indigenous Times, it's great that NT Labor now acknowledges our Elders and community were right to oppose this destructive project. The next step is to ask their Federal Labor colleagues to intervene so our vision for returning Lee Point to the care, ownership and protection of Larrakia people can be realised before more damage is done.

We'd love your help in applying some pressure on Federal Labor. Our friends at 350 have set up a campaign page to make it really easy for you to send a message directly to DHA Minister Matt Keogh urging him to follow the lead of NT Labor, cancel the military housing project and return Lee Point to the care of our people: https://fossilfuelwatch.good.do/protectlarrakiacountry/email-labor-lee-point/

We’re also planning a full-page ad in the NT News featuring Larrakia Traditional Owners, environmental groups, and community organisations calling for the protection of Lee Point. 

If you're part of an organisation that is based in Darwin and would like to add your logo to the ad, please get in touch at hello@protectlarrakiacountry.com

You can also support the ad and help amplify this message by donating here.

Every action, every donation, every signature, every share, every positive thought in our direction matters.  

Thank you for continuing to keep Lee Point in your hearts and minds.
