For over 30 years now Red Bank Copper Mine has been leaking copper sulphate into our waters. The NT Govt left the mining company leave of 50,000 tonnes of acid forming waste rock out in the open to to washed into the creeks in the monsoon rains. Over 10 years ago the government made a promise to us to clean it up. The Minister for Mines and Energy Willem Westra van Holthe made the promise, but nothing has happened. Forty kilometres from the mine the water is contaminated. The mine site is a scared site, a Possum Dreaming, and it’s been desecrated, hurting the custodians of the site.
