Witness History - The indigenous fight to stop nuclear waste disposal
Download The indigenous fight to stop nuclear waste disposal
In 1995 a group of senior, indigenous Australian women started a campaign to halt the construction of a nuclear waste facility in a remote part of South Australia.
Karina Lester, a granddaughter of one of the women and a translator for the campaign, spoke to Rachael Gillman about their unlikely victory against the Australian government.
