## Resource

A new 50-year mining deal for BHP sparks fierce debate, with environmental groups and Indigenous communities slamming the rushed six-day public consultation as inadequate and undemocratic. While the government defends the process as standard parliamentary procedure and insists native title rights remain intact, critics like the Kokatha Aboriginal Corporation argue the original agreement caused land destruction and displacement — and their voices are still being ignored. The core tension? Balancing massive copper production and economic investment against environmental protection and Indigenous sovereignty.
